“Keep in mind sth” 正确吗?
严格来说,“keep in mind sth” 在语法上不够自然。英语母语者通常会说:
- Keep something in mind
- Keep in mind that...
这是因为 “keep in mind” 是一个动词短语(phrasal verb),其宾语通常是代词或从句,放在中间更符合习惯。
正确用法示例
- ✅ Please keep in mind that the meeting starts at 9 a.m.
- ✅ Keep this fact in mind when making your decision.
- ✅ I’ll keep it in mind.
- ❌ Keep in mind this fact. (虽然可理解,但不如 “keep this fact in mind” 自然)
常见搭配与场景
“Keep in mind” 常用于提醒、建议或强调重要信息,适用于以下场景:
- 商务沟通:提醒截止日期、注意事项
- 学术写作:强调前提条件或限制因素
- 日常对话:表达善意提醒
小结
记住:“Keep something in mind” 或 “Keep in mind that...” 才是地道表达。避免直接说 “keep in mind sth”,尤其是在正式场合。
