每日一句：The worker was absent-minded for he was ill.( 8.27 )

薄荷糖娃娃

The worker was absent-minded for he was ill.

那位工人心不在焉因为他病了。

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mind的意思是“思想”或“头脑”，凡是把minded放在另一个词的后面，则变成一个复合词(compound noun )，意思为“具有．．．思想/意识”，例如：narrow-minded (气量小的)，tradition-minded ( 拥有传统观念的 ) 等。
这里的 absent-minded 则是形容人的性格或状态，指“心不在焉、善忘”或“粗心大意”。请看下面的例句：You should remind him the submission deadline of the project because he is an absent-minded man. He might be late if you don’t remind him.你必须提醒他递交报告的限期，因为他是一个很善忘的人。若你不提醒他，他便很有可能迟交报告了。
说点有趣的，Professor是指“教授，是有学识的人”，但Absent-minded professor 是指“做事大意，心不在焉的人”。所以，如果大家看到Absent-minded professor这个短语，千万别认为是针对某个教授而说的。
