1. 这是个什么词？
词：mindful
英英释义：remembering a particular rule or fact and thinking about it when you are making decisions about what to do
例句：Mindful of the poor road conditions, Eric reduced his speed to 20 mph.
2. 为什么选这个词？
“mindful”是形容词，意思是“记着的、留神的”，后面接介词 of 或 that 从句。当我们想表达“考虑到......”“知道或意识到......”的时候就可以用这个词。mindful 偏正式，可以在写作中使用，替换“with X in mind”和“realizing X”。我们来通过几个例句来吃透这个单词的用法。
考虑到路况不佳，Eric 把车速降到了每小时 20 英里，就可以说：
With the poor road conditions in mind, Eric reduced his speed to 20 mph.
这个时候就可以用 mindful of the poor road conditions 替换 with the poor road conditions in mind：
Eric was mindful of the poor road conditions and reduced his speed to 20 mph.
还可以用 mindful that... 改写：
Eric was mindful that the road conditions were poor and reduced his speed to 20 mph.
不过，这两句话还可以写得更简洁、更优雅：
Mindful of the poor road conditions, Eric reduced his speed to 20 mph.
如果 mindful of 后面接的内容过长，则可以优先使用 mindful that...。比如：
Some European politicians are increasingly mindful that young voters are turning away from traditional parties.
mindful 还是奥巴马在演讲中非常喜欢的单词，比如他在第一次总统就职典礼上第一句中就用到了：
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you've bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors.
humbled by, grateful for, mindful of 整齐、简洁、有力，非常讲究的开头句，值得学习。
3. 怎样学会使用这个词？
