英语短语"keep one's mind on"的核心含义是“集中注意力于;专心于;持续关注”,强调主动且持续地将思维/注意力固定在某件事上,不被其他事物分散。
"keep + 形容词性物主代词(my/your/his/her/our/their) + mind + on + 宾语"
宾语可以是名词、代词或动名词(因"on"是介词,后接动词需用-ing形式)。
强调有意识地保持注意力,常用于学习、工作、日常任务等需要专注的场景。
学习:Stop daydreaming and keep your mind on the lesson.(别做白日梦,专心上课。)
工作:She always keeps her mind on her projects until they’re finished.(她总是专心做项目直到完成。)
日常:Please keep your mind on driving—this road is slippery.(请专心开车——这条路很滑。)
表示“无法专心于某事”(因外界干扰或自身状态),是最常用的搭配之一。
The noise outside is so loud that I can't keep my mind on my book.(外面太吵了,我没法专心看书。)
I couldn't keep my mind on the meeting because I was worried about my sick cat.(我没法专心开会,因为担心生病的猫。)
若要更突出“坚定/始终”专注,可在"keep"前加副词(如firmly、always、try to)。
Keep your mind firmly on the task—don’t let distractions take over.(牢牢专注于任务,别让干扰占上风。)
He tries to keep his mind on studying even when he’s tired.(即使累了,他也努力专心学习。)
同义词:focus on(聚焦于)、concentrate on(集中精力于)、pay attention to(注意)
(注:"keep one's mind on"更强调“持续保持”,而"pay attention to"更泛化,"focus on"侧重“针对性聚焦”。)
反义词:be distracted from(被…分散注意力)、lose one’s focus on(失去对…的注意力)、daydream about(做白日梦)
"one's"需与主语一致:主语是"I"用"my",主语是"they"用"their",不可混淆。
❌:He keeps her mind on work.(错误,主语是"He",应改为"his")
✅:He keeps his mind on work.(正确)
后接动词需用动名词:因"on"是介词,动词要加-ing。
❌:Keep your mind on listen to the teacher.(错误)
✅:Keep your mind on listening to the teacher.(正确)
"keep one's mind on"是表达“持续专注”的实用短语,适用于各种需要集中注意力的场景,尤其强调主动维持专注的状态。掌握其结构(物主代词+mind+on+宾语)和否定形式(can't keep...),就能轻松用于日常对话或写作中。
