consider用法说明
1. 表示“考虑”,其后可接名词、动名词或从句作宾语(但不能接不定式作宾语)。如:
Please consider my suggestion. 请考虑我的建议。
She is considering going to Europe. 她在考虑去欧洲。
虽然 consider(考虑)之后不能直接跟不定式作宾语,但却可以接“疑问词+不定式”。如:
He considered how to answer. /He considered how he could answer. 他考虑如何回答。
但是不说:She is considering to answer (the question).
2. 表示“认为”、“把……看作”,比较以下同义句型:
我们认为他是我们的朋友。
正:We consider him (as) our friend.
正:We consider him (to be) our friend.
正:We consider that he is our friend.
【注】后接不定式的复合结构作宾语时,其不定式通常为 to be, 有时也可能是行为动词,但通常为完成式。如:
We consider him to have left. 我们认为他已离开。
注意这类句型变为被动语态:He is considered to have left.
