1.a rain check改天，下一次机会

讲解：如果你看比赛时，比赛因为下雨而中断，手中留着下次继续用的票根被称为“rain check”。凭借这票根可以改天看比赛。意识引申为“延期，改天”之义。

Eg.I can't make it to dinner tonight; but, can I take a rain check?

今天晚上我不能去吃晚饭,但是我们改天再吃好吗?

Eg.I'd like to take a rain check on your invitation.

我希望你日后补请。

Eg.I won't have that coffee just now, but can I take a rain check on it?

我现在不能喝那杯咖啡了，下次再喝，好吗？

Eg.They gave a rain check on a dance.

他们改期举行舞会。

2.mind doing：介意做某事

Eg. I wonder whether you would mind doing me a favor?

不知道你能不能帮我一个忙？

Eg.Would one of you mind doing this for me, please?
