『Input』Bother也是使用频率很高的一个词，它也有几种意思。举几个例子；E。g。Don’t-bother-to-go–over-the-grammar-points-all-of–the-time，it-won’t-help-you–speak-better-English-anyway。E。g。I-don’t-mean–to-bother-you，but-there’s-a-phone-call-here-waiting-for-you-in–the-hall。E。g。More-than-anything-that-bothers-me-right-now-is-how-to-make-both-ends-meet。
