3、consider 用法小结
consider是个很常用的动词，其意义不同，句型结构也不同。我们在学习中要特别注意。
（1）作“仔细考虑、深思熟虑”解，consider可作不及物动词或及物动词。
作及动词时，后可接名词、代词、动名词作宾语，不能接动词不定式，但可以接疑问词+不定式，相当于宾语从句。例如：
Consider carefully before you decide.你要慎重考虑后再做决定。
They considered your suggestion.他们仔细考虑了你的建议。
He is considering studying abroad.他在考虑出国留学。
We are considering how to help them.我们在考虑如何帮助他们。
（2）作“将……视为、认为、以为”解。
①可用consider+名词+（to be）名词（形容词）或consider+名词+as+名词（形容词）结构，但当不定式为行为动词时，不能省略，不可用于进行时。这样用时相当于that引导宾语从句。例如：
He considers himself(to be)clever(=as clever).=He considers that he is clever.他认为自己很聪明。
I consider him(to be)my closest friend(as my closest friend).=I consider(that)he is my closest friend.我把他视为我最亲密的朋友。
He is considered to have invented the first computer.他被认为是最早发明计算机的人。
②还可用于consider+it(形式宾语)+形容词+不定式结构。例如：
I consider it wrong for students to smoke.我认为学生抽烟是不对的。
consider的用法：
①You should consider the question.你应该考虑这个问题。
②跟从句
He began to consider when he would get married.他开始考虑什么时侯结婚的事情。
③跟疑问词+ to do sth.
He is considering how to get there in time.他正想怎么能及时赶到那儿。
④跟动名词
Who considers answering the question?谁正在考虑回答这个问题？
⑤为……着想
He always considers others before himself.他常先为别人着想。
⑥名词为：consideration(不可数)
take sth. into consideration把……考虑在内
If you want to go on holidays in Beijing,you should take the cost into consideration.如果想到北京去度假，你应该考虑费用问题。
