Which of the following is CORRECT? A. Do you mind if I opened the window? B. Would you mind if I opened the window? C. Do you mind me to open the window? D. Would you mind me to open the window? 答案是B。表示客气的请求可以使用would或do引导的 疑问句，但是would you mind后的if从句中要用虚拟式， 而 do you mind后的if从句中则使用直陈式，如 Do you mind if I open the window?另外，mind后可跟ing，而不可跟不定式。
