consider
1.下面各句意思相同:
- I consider him clever.
- I consider him to be clever.
- I consider him a clever man.
- I consider him to be a clever man.
虽然有人以为不该说I consider him as clever和I consider him as a clever man,事实上很普通。
Considered as a poet, he does not deserve much praise里的as不可省去,这里as作“就…而论”解。
2.consider在用作“拟…”解的时候后面接动名词,不接不定式,如可以说I have often considered going to college,不可说I have often considered to go to college。
