问题描述
抽象名词前加the问题，特指加，帮忙分析一下这两个句子,好像反了:
The body and the mind interrelate.
She has closed her mind to last year's traumas.
老师答疑
刘老师：
The body and the mind interrelate.
She has closed her mind to last year's traumas.
这两个都是柯林斯词典的句子。原翻译为：
“身体与头脑相互影响。”
“她不再去想去年遭受的创伤。”
首先澄清一个概念：你的例句中，body 和mind 并非是抽象名词，而是普通的可数名词。人的“身体”和“心理”是两个相对的事物，这与是否加定冠词无关。“定冠词+单数名词”，在这里是表示“类别”，表示一类事物，以区别于其他事物，但不是特指。又如：
The body is made up primarily of bone, muscle, and fat. 人体主要是由骨骼、肌肉和脂肪构成。
Exercising the body does a great deal to improve one's health. 锻炼身体对增进健康大有益处。
They say that travel broadens the mind. 他们说旅行能够开阔心胸。
It is a movie that engages both the mind and the eye. 这是一部令人赏心悦目的影片。
关于人体器官，表示类别时都是与定冠词the 连用的，例如：
The head is thought to be the most important part of the human body.
The ear is the organ of hearing.
We all know we cannot speak without the tongue.
The heart is an extremely important organ inside the chest.
The stomach is naturally related to one’s appetite.
The skin is an essential part of your body and is where you feel cold, heat or pain.
其它“定冠词+单数名词”表示类别的例句：
The telephone is a most useful invention in human history. 电话是人类历史上非常有用的发明。
The whale is the largest anmial in the world. 鲸鱼是世界上最大的动物。
关于第2句。英语中，跟mind的搭配很多。例如：
mind up one’s mind 下决心
change one’s mind 改变主意
Great minds think alike. 英雄所见略同。
an easy mind 无忧无虑，心境宁静，心情轻松
an open mind 虚心
be of two minds 犹豫不决；拿不定主意；三心二意
clear one's mind of 清除；不考虑
come to one's mind 出现在某人的脑海里
close one's mind to 对…不予考虑；对…置若罔闻

回答如下:
(1)抽象名词表示特指,对称或者种类和类别也是可以加冠词的
The body and the mind interrelate.
身心是相互起作用的.
(2)close one's mind to sth对某事不予考虑;对某事置若罔闻
She has closed her mind to last year's traumas.
她不再去想去年遭受的创伤。
