bother这个词很久之前就想跟大家分享了

因为太太太好用了！

前两天刚好请一个外国朋友聚餐

他懒懒散散地回了一句：

I'm not bothered.

愤愤不平的芭比决定要对这个词下手了

1、I'm not bothered

英文释义：

whatever， anyway, I don't mind

it's not important to me

类似中文的：

(英式英语用得偏多)

晚上想吃什么？

I'm not bothered.

我随便啊。

I'm not bothered.

2、I can't be bothered

(也有可能是太忙...)

3、Don't bother

内心戏：

有感激，也有不领情的感觉，觉得做这个没必要

哦， 不必了。

尤其，don't bother doing还常用来“放狠话”

不必... 犯不着...
