consider 的用法及固定搭配

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。
