用法说明
1.think, deliberate, reflect
这三个词都可作“考虑”,“思考”讲。其中,think最常用,可表示任何情况下的思考,且思考后不一定要作出决定或采取行动。deliberate非常正式,通常是慎重地思考、权衡利弊,多指在某些正式会议上进行讨论、商榷等。reflect则表示在回忆的基础上进行思考,强调逻辑思维等思考过程。试比较:
You look very thoughtful; what are you thinking about? 你看起来心事重重,你在想什么?
The cabinet are still deliberating on the question. 内阁成员们还在继续商讨这个问题。
She reflected that his argument was probably true. 她心想他的观点也许是对的。
2. think about, think of
这两个动词短语的意思有区别,前者常作“考虑”讲,也表示对…的看法,而后者则作“想到”或“想起”讲。试比较:
We have thought about that problem. 我们已经考虑过那个问题。
We have thought of that problem. 我们已想到过这个问题。
