Half a mind to do something.
Half a mind to do something.
當你說你"有點想要做某事"(Half a mind to do something),這就表示你有這個念頭在心中,但還沒完全決定好,有可能還在猶豫是否要行動。這個短語常用於表達心中的想法和傾向,但尚未走到完全執行的階段。比如,如果有人說他們“有點想去旅行”但還沒有訂票,就是這個成語的典型用法。
I've got half a mind to call him and cancel our plans.
我有點想打電話給他取消我們的計劃。
She had half a mind to skip the meeting and go see a movie instead.
她有點想跳過會議去看電影。

湯姆告訴我他有一點想就錢的問題跟他兄弟對質,但最終改變了想法。
