It was laid down by my father是我父亲留下的!

lay down:留下

He lay down on the sofa and soon fell asleep.

她躺在沙发上很快就睡著了

lay的用法:

1.lay的基本意思是“放置成水平位置”。可译为“放,搁,摆”“压倒,放倒”“铺设,敷设”等,引申可指“安排”“布置”“拟定”“提出”等。用作及物动词时,可接名词或代词作宾语,也可接“(to be+) adj./v -ed”充当补足语的复合宾语。

2.lay作“产卵”解时,可用作及物动词,也可省去宾语(通常为eggs)而用作不及物动词。

3.lay作“押,赌”解时通常接双宾语,其间接宾语可以是人,也可以是赌的“标的”,直接宾语则多为that引起的从句。

4.lay也可用作系动词,接形容词或过去分词作表语。

You don't mind if I eat, do you?你不会在乎我吃吧

mind:介意

I don't mind the children's comings and goings.

我并不介意孩子们进进出出。

用法:

mind还作“介意”“关心”“在乎”“反对”时，主要用于疑问、否定、条件句中。可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词,接名词、代词、动名词、if/that/wh-从句作宾语。如该动词的逻辑主语不是句子的主语时,该动名词前须加物主代词、人称代词或名词的所有格表示其逻辑主体。这时通常不可变为被动结构。mind作“介意”解时还可接以形容词充当补足语的复合宾语。
