基本概念
在英语中,think 和 think of 都与“思考”有关,但它们的用法和含义有所不同。
正确理解两者的区别有助于更自然、准确地表达思想。
think 的用法
think 通常表示“认为”或“思考某事”,后面常接从句(that 可省略)或宾语从句。
- I think (that) he is right.(我认为他是对的。)
- She thinks carefully before answering.(她回答前仔细思考。)
注意:think 一般不直接接名词作宾语(除非在特定固定搭配中)。
think of 的用法
think of 表示“想到某人/某事”、“考虑某事”或“对……有看法”。
它后面可以直接跟名词或代词。
- I can’t think of his name right now.(我现在想不起他的名字。)
- What do you think of this movie?(你觉得这部电影怎么样?)
- Have you thought of going abroad?(你考虑过去国外吗?)
主要区别总结
-
结构不同:
think后多接从句;think of后可接名词、代词或动名词。 -
含义侧重不同:
think强调“观点、信念”;think of强调“联想、回忆、评价”。 - 不可互换:例如不能说 “I think his name” 来表达“我想起他的名字”,必须用 “I think of his name”。
小练习(自测)
