基本含义对比
think 是最常用的表示“思考、认为”的动词,强调主观想法或观点。
consider 更正式,常表示“认真考虑、仔细斟酌”某事,也可表示“认为”,但语气更慎重。
用法差异
think后可直接接 that 从句:
I think (that) he is right.consider表示“认为”时,通常不接 that 从句,而是用以下结构:
We consider him (to be) honest.
或 It is considered impolite to interrupt.consider表示“考虑做某事”时,后接动名词:
She is considering changing her job.think about可表示“考虑”,但不如consider正式:
I’m thinking about moving abroad.
常见错误示例
❌ 错误:I consider that he is smart.(在正式英语中不自然)
✅ 正确:I consider him smart. 或 I think he is smart.
总结
简单来说:
- 日常表达观点 → 用
think; - 正式场合、强调深思熟虑或评价他人 → 用
consider; - “考虑做某事” →
consider + doing,而think about + doing更口语化。
