词语用法

v. (动词)

1. think的基本意思是“想,思索”,指使一件事情在头脑中不断地浮现或使这件事保持这种浮现的状态,可以表示“想”的动作,也可以表示“想”的状态。还可指“以为,认为”,指某事在头脑中形成一个固定的概念,即“想”的结果。think还有“想象”“想起”“打算”等意思。作“料想,想象”解时,通常用于否定句,不用于被动结构,且常与can〔could〕连用。think在口语中,尤其是美式英语中还可表示“朝…方面想”或“专想(某件事)”。
2. think可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,后接同源名词、代词、动词不定式、带有疑问词的动词不定式或that/wh-从句作宾语。接动词不定式作宾语时,多用于否定句或疑问句中。
3. think作“认为”解时,可接复合宾语,其宾语由名词、动名词、动词不定式或that从句充当。充当宾语的动名词、动词不定式或that从句常置于宾语补足语之后,而以it作形式宾语置于宾语补足语之前(it现在趋向省去); 其宾语补足语可由“(to be+) n./adj./v -ed”充当,有时也可以 v -ing充当。
4. think是表示思维活动的动词,常用于转移否定结构,即形式上是否定主句的谓语动词think,但意思却是否定从句的谓语动词。
5. To think that ...意为“没想到”“竟然”,Who would have thought ...表示“谁会想到”, wouldn't〔couldn't, shouldn't〕 think of表示“绝不能考虑〔想象〕”,这三个词组都表示因事先未料到某事而感到惊讶。
6. 当主句是I (don't) think...时,如构成反意疑问句,则其附加疑问句部分须与宾语从句中的主语和谓语一致。
7. think后不需用非人称代词it替代前面的整个句子,而可使用替代词so或not。
8. think作“相信,认为”解时,既不用于进行体,也不用于现在完成进行时; 作“考虑”“想念”解时,可用于进行体。think的过去完成时可用来表示过去未曾实现的意图、打算或愿望。
9. think可引出直接引语。可用于被动结构。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

think everything of, think anything of, think nothing of

• 这三个短语在程度上有所区别：think everything of程度最深,意为“很重视”; think anything of次之,意为“还重视”,常用于否定句或疑问句中; think nothing of程度最弱,意为“不重视”或“认为无所谓”。例如:
• We think everything of that young man.我们很重视那位年轻人。
• If you think anything of your motherland, you are in a position to do something about her.如果你脑子里还有祖国的话,那么你现在能为她做点事了。
• He thinks nothing of running six rounds in the morning.他认为早晨跑6圈不算什么。

think, believe, consider

• believe与consider, think在用法上有以下相同之处:
• 1.后面可以接that从句。例如:
• Do you believe〔consider, think〕 that jogging is helpful to your health? 你认为慢跑对你的身体有益吗?
• 2.后面可以接由名词或代词+to be(常常省略)的复合宾语。例如:
• Do you believe〔consider, think〕 Mr. Bell (to be) a good doctor? 你认为贝尔先生是个好医生吗?
• I don't believe〔consider, think〕 it possible. 我认为这件事情是不可能的。
• Everybody believes〔considers, thinks〕 his living alone strange. 人人都认为他离群独居是不可思议的。

think, conceive, fancy, imagine

• 这组词的共同意思是“在思想中形成一个看法或观点”。其区别在于:think指想起一个主意或观念,也指思考反思得出结论或作出判断,或认真的思想活动,或在头脑中形成鲜明的形象或清楚的看法或作出打算或目的; conceive指在头脑中组织好自己的思想,强调通过思考而形成一个见解; imagine强调形象的思维; fancy强调形象的不真实或想法的不正确,有时甚至侧重脱离事实、想入非非。例如:
• The Wright brothers conceived the design of the first motor-powered plane.莱特兄弟设计出了第一架动力驱动飞机的图样。
• Try to imagine being on the moon.想象一下你在月球上。
• Don't fancy that you can succeed without hard work.别以为你不努力就能取得成功。

think, meditate, reflect

• 这三个词的共同意思是“思考”，其区别在于：think是一般用语，指借助思考以形成某种念头，得出某种结论，了解某种已知的事理等；meditate指集中思想、长时间而认真地从各个观点去考虑一个问题，借以了解其各方面及其有关的问题；reflect指冷静地、认真地、反复地思考一个问题。例如： The congressman is meditating a reply to his critics.这位国会议员正在考虑给他的批评者一个答复。 I need time to reflect on what you offered.我需要时间来考虑你提出的建议。
• The congressman is meditating a reply to his critics.这位国会议员正在考虑给他的批评者一个答复。
• I need time to reflect on what you offered.我需要时间来考虑你提出的建议。

be thinking of, be going to, intend, mean

• 这四者都有“想要”或“打算”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.mean比intend单纯,没有intend专心于某事的含义。
• 2.be going to表示在说话之前已经作出决定; 而be thinking of则表示正在“想”或“打算”,还没有最后决定。
• 3.在口语中,一般不用intend to,而用be going to或be thinking of的形式来表达。
• 4.mean还有“意味”的意思,而另三个词(组)则没有此义。

下列四个句子意思相同,但前两句不如后两句常用：

• I think it to be a good book.
• I think it a good book.
• I think that it is a good book.
• I think it is a good book.
• 我认为这是本好书。

consider，think，believe，count，deem，reckon，regard

• 这些动词均含有“认为”之意。
• consider指经过考虑和观察后得出的结论。
• think普通用词，指按照自己的意见提出看法。
• believe通常指根据一定的证据，经思考后而认为属实。
• count指作出判断后而得出的看法等。
• deem正式用词，常用于法律、文学，强调作判断而不是思考。
• reckon指对人或事作全面“权衡”，把各方面意见考虑进去后得出结论。
• regard侧重凭外表或表面现象作判断。多强调观点。

think，conceive，imagine，fancy，realize

• 这些动词均可表示“在思想中形成一个看法或观念”之意。
• think最普通用词，指想或思索，也指由反复思考而作出判断或得出结论等。
• conceive指在头脑中组织好自己的思想，在心中形成一个系统的思想或一个见解。
• imagine比conceive更强调形象思维，指在头脑中形成一个清晰明确的意象。
• fancy与imagine略不同，往往指的是不切实际的，属于梦幻般的想象。
• realize指领悟，通过生动的构思或想象从而抓住事物的本质。

think，deliberate，meditate，muse，reason，reflect，speculate

• 这些动词均有“思考、判断、思索”之意。
• think一般用词，指开动脑筋形成看法或得出结论的脑力活动。不着重结论是否正确，见解是否有用。
• deliberate指缓慢、按部就班地作仔细而认真的思考或判断。
• meditate语气较强，指认真地长时间集中精力进行思考。
• muse通常指漫无目的地猜想。
• reason指根据资料、证据或事实进行推断，作出结论或判断的逻辑思维活动。
• reflect指回想或回顾，侧重认真而冷静地反复地思考某个问题，尤指对已发生事情的思索。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 她似乎知道我在想什么。

   误 She seemed to know what I thought in my mind.

   正 She seemed to know what I was thinking about.

   正 She seemed to know what I was in my mind.

   析 think本身已含有“脑子里想”的意思,因此不必再用in my mind。

2. 他把自己看成是个普通士兵。

   误 He thought himself as a common soldier.

   正 He thought of himself as a common soldier.

   析 think后不可以直接接“ as adj./n. ”,而think of则可以。

3. 我在想,我是否可以帮助他。

   误 I was thinking if I could do anything to help him.

   正 I was wondering if I could do anything to help him.

   析 think不可接whether/if引导的从句,而wonder则可以。

4. 我在考虑下一步做什么。

   误 I think what to do next.

   正 I am thinking what to do next.

5. 我相信他是诚实的。

   误 I am thinking that he is honest.

   正 I think that he is honest.

   析 think作“考虑”解时可用于进行体,作“相信”解时不可用于进行体。
