【don’t bother 别费事,不劳】
don’t bother后面可以接四种不同的结构:

2. 不定词:Don’t bother to come back.
3. yourself + -ing: Don’t bother yourself coming back.
4. yorself + 不定词:Don’t bother yourself to come back.
以上四句都正确,但以(1)及(2)两句较普遍。

你明天班机是几时?我想要到机场给你送行。
B: Thanks. But don’t bother to come to the airport.
谢了。但请不要麻烦跑一趟机场。
