Could & Would 點樣用同分別

你那兩句有點錯。應是：

Would you mind giving me some money?

Would you mind + verb + ing=

Would you mind doing something?
I don't mind working late. (= it's not a problem. Note the –ing form); Would you mind opening the window for me? ... I would quite like to) B Never mind that. You've got homework to do. (= this is not important in comparison to the ...

Could you 是不可加 mind

究竟兩句的分別，邊句會比較有禮貌？你那句舉的例不是太好，因好似問人乞錢。我用過第二個例子。Would you mind opening the window, please?Could you open the window, please?

其實字面上差不多，用個 MIND 的不一定更有禮貌，語氣和表情才是最重要。當事人才能體會。你試試用中文去問這兩句和想想便明。好多時用 MIND 那句會有反效果，好似串人，命令式，問人介不介意，如：Would you mind putting out your cigarette?答的人根本不好意思說介意。

想有禮貌，問完人，人地做了，記得講 THANK YOU （VERY MUCH）， 便夠晒禮貌。

Would 是比 could有禮貌。

could是can的過去式，而can是帶有問人有沒有這個能力的意思，如果真是問人拿錢時，當然是要禮貌一點。

還有一點的是，我很少用mind，因為mind是介意的意思，你現在好像問人﹕你介不介意給我一點錢。如果別人答 yes，即是介意！但如果答 no，明明是不介意，但聽上去好像是﹕no，我不給你錢。所以用please代替mind會好得多。would you please give me some money? 有禮貌之餘又不會帶有相反意思的模糊情況出現。

我以前試過用can/could來問老師的問題﹕can you show me how to do this math?(你有沒有能力做這條數給我看?) 他之後答我﹕yes, i can (我有能力)，但就沒有實際做給我看。之後我立即再問﹕would you show me how to do this math? (你可不可以做這條數給我看?) 他之後再答﹕yes, i would. (我可以) 當然就馬上在黑板做條數給我看！

i think Could you mind give me some money? 比較有禮貌
