愛華網(wǎng)在上面得故事里，我“懶干什么事情”或“嫌麻煩而不做”在英語(yǔ)有一個(gè)很常用的說(shuō)法就是don’t bother to.比方說(shuō)你想說(shuō)：“我懶搞得！” 就可以說(shuō)：I just don’t bother.還有一種被動(dòng)語(yǔ)氣地用法。新概念英語(yǔ)第三冊(cè)就有一句： The dealer toldhim that it had just come in, but that he could not bebothered to open it.古董商告訴他那只貨箱剛到不久，但他嫌麻煩不想把它打開。其他的例子還有：
Parents don'tbother to teach kids what is right and wrong these days.如今家長(zhǎng)們也懶得去教孩子們哪些事是對(duì)的、哪些事是錯(cuò)的了。
She had not bothered to readTimes article. 她懶得去讀紐約時(shí)報(bào)的文章。
Why should Ibother to try to do such useless things?我們?yōu)槭裁匆獎(jiǎng)谏袢プ鲞@些無(wú)用的事情？
He didn't even bother to saythank you. 他連說(shuō)謝謝都免了。
`Shall I help you with thewashing up?' `Don't bother--I'll do it later.'（dictionary example）Don'tbother to dress up, come as you are.別勞神打扮了。就這樣穿著來(lái)吧。
Why botheredto show up? 那你勞神來(lái)干嘛？
We will notbother with the rest.其余的我們就不勞神搞了。
被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)的用法也很多：
He, as usual, just didn’twant to be bothered with her nonsense.想往常一樣他懶得聽她的鬼話。
His application letter wasthrown away by someone who cannot be bothered toread it. 他的求職信被某個(gè)懶得讀信的人扔到一邊了。
He could produce excellentwork but usually he can't be bothered.他可以把事情做蠻好，但他就是通常懶得去做。
The grass needs cutting but Ican't be bothered to do it today.草要割了，但我懶得去割。
Bother做名詞可以表示“麻煩事”
She described it as a littlespot of bother.她說(shuō)這只是一點(diǎn)小麻煩。(新概念英語(yǔ)第三冊(cè))
It is a bother to me.這是我的一件麻煩事. 還有，botherabout有“擔(dān)心、著急“的意思：
I am doing what I can withoutbothering about mistakes.我在做我力所能及的是，不用擔(dān)心出錯(cuò)。
You don’t have tobother about me---I am OK.別擔(dān)心我。我沒(méi)事。
