练习 1
Which of the following questions could replace Sam's question, "Do you have a restaurant in mind?"
Which of the following questions could replace Sam's question, "Do you have a restaurant in mind?"
If Sam had asked "do you mind if I choose the restaurant", then he would indeed be asking if it would bother Bruno if Sam chose the restaurant. However, "would you mind?" or "do you mind?" is a different question than "do you have something in mind?".
If Sam had asked "is there something on your mind?", we might assume that Bruno was worried about something. However, Sam's question regards Bruno's preference for a restaurant, and not his concerns or worries.
Sam's question is not whether Bruno "remembers" the restaurant the ate at last time, but rather if Bruno wants to go to a particular restaurant this time.
The expression "to have something in mind" expresses that someone is thinking about something specific, or that they have an idea about something. Sam is asking Bruno if he has a restaurant "in mind", which is a way of asking him if he was thinking about eating at a particular restaurant.

What did you have in mind? --> What are your ideas? 1

He speaks his mind --> He talks frankly 2

Mind your own business! --> This doesn't concern you! 3
1 What are your ideas?: "What do/did you have in mind?" means "What are you thinking?". This idiom is commonly used to ask about people's ideas. In the dialogue, Hannah suggests that Bruno's party should take place in "a more unusual venue (=location)". Brian asks Hannah, "What did you have in mind?" to make Hannah explain her idea further.
1 What's worrying you?: If someone is worried or anxious, we would more probably ask, "What's ON your mind?". If you have something (or someone) "on your mind" then you are thinking and worrying about it (or them) a lot. Example: It's my driving test tomorrow - it's been on my mind all day.
1 What drugs have you been doing?: Oops! "What did you have in mind?" is not used to ask about what drugs someone has been doing!
2 He talks frankly: If you "speak your mind", you speak frankly, saying exactly what you think in a very direct manner. Example: Philip might sometimes offend people in meetings, but at least he speaks his mind.
2 He talks a lot: "To speak your mind" is not to "speak a lot".
2 He's arrogant: "To speak your mind" is not to be "arrogant".
3 This doesn't concern you!: If something is "your business", it is your responsibility or it concerns you. "To mind" is to be careful about something (Example: Mind your head!). The common idiom "mind your own business" means "look after you own affairs and don't ask questions (or be curious) about things that don't concern you". Example: -How old are you, grandma? -Mind your own business!
3 Go into business for yourself!: "Mind your own business" is not a suggestion that you should start your own business or commercial enterprise!
3 Look after your belongings!: "Mind your own business" is not used to encourage people to look after their things or belongings.
