通常情况下没有consider to do的写法,只有consider doing。只有在被动时才有be considered to do,此时是“认为”的意思。consider doing是“考虑做某事”的意思。
consider doing是考虑做某事 如:I am considering visiting you
consider to do是认为的意思
如:China is considered to be one of the greatest country in the world.中国被认为是世界上最伟大的国家之一
它的习惯用法有consider+名词或代词等,consideration+宾语从句,还有“consider somebody or something for something or somebody”或者是“consider somebody or something as something or somebody”。
例句:
1. We have considered your application carefully, but cannot offer you the job. 我们已经仔细地考虑了你的申请, 认为不能聘请你做这份工作。
2. We are considering Mary for a job. 我们正在考虑让玛丽做这份工作。
3. We are considering you as a candidate. 我们一直在考虑让你作为候选人。
4. Have you considered how to get there? 你是否考虑过如何到达那里?
从以上4个例句中,我们可以得出一个结论,consider作为考虑做某事这个意思解释时是及物动词,它后面如果要跟动词的话,要使用这个动词的动名词形式,即:consider doing something,不能用动词不定式“consider to do something”。
例句:
We are considering going to Canada to spend our holidays . 我们正考虑到加拿大去度假
