consider

★★★★★

🇺🇸 /kʌnsˈɪdɚ/ 🇬🇧 /kənˈsɪd.ə/

verb 编号: C03019 牛津3000 BNC #312 COCA #394

一个表示“把某事放进脑中认真衡量”的动词，可根据对象和语境引申为考虑、把……看作、顾及或认为。

💡 记忆钩子

把 consider 想成把一个人或一件事放到脑中的“观察台”上：先认真看、反复权衡，于是可以考虑要不要做某事，也可以把它看作某种情况、顾及它的影响，最后形成“认为”的判断。

📝 学习建议

先掌握“认真考虑”和“考虑做某事”这条主线，再记“把……看作”和“顾及”这两个常见延伸。
不要把 consider 一律理解成“认为”；看到正在权衡或顾及后果的语境时，通常应优先理解为“考虑”。
特别留意后接动作时的形式，英语中通常说“考虑做某事”，不要按汉语习惯直接套用不自然的结构。

📖 中文释义

verb

core 认真考虑

📖 指把某件事放在心上，认真思考它的情况、后果或重要性，而不是随便想一想。

💡 常用“consider + 事情”或“consider + 从句”表示认真评估某事。这个用法比单纯表示“想到”更郑重，宾语通常是问题、事实、计划或可能发生的情况。不要把它误解成已经作出决定。

transitive

Please consider the possible risks before you sign the contract.

签合同前，请认真考虑可能存在的风险。

Consider that we still have two months to finish the project.

请认真想想，我们还有两个月来完成这个项目。
core 仔细权衡

📖 不带直接宾语时，指停下来认真想、比较不同选择或后果，强调思考过程。

💡 常见于“take time to consider”或“sit and consider”这类结构，后面也可接疑问词从句说明所思考的问题。它通常比普通的“想”更强调审慎和权衡，但不一定表示正式讨论。

intransitive

Take a few days to consider before you give me your answer.

你先花几天仔细考虑一下，再给我答复。
core 考虑做某事

📖 指把某个动作当作可能的选择来衡量，表示“在想要不要做”，并不表示已经决定。

💡 常用“consider + 动名词”表示考虑做某事，也可接名词表示考虑某个方案。不要说成不自然的“consider to do”；如果要表达已经决定，需改用表示决定的其他动词。

transitive

We are considering moving to a smaller apartment.

我们正在考虑搬到一套更小的公寓。

She is considering taking a year off after graduation.

她正在考虑毕业后休学一年。
common 把……看作

📖 把某人或某物判断为具有某种性质，意思接近“认为……是……”，重点是给对象归类或定性。

💡 常用“consider + 宾语 + 形容词、名词或其他补语”。这种结构比单独说自己的看法更像在作出判断，补语描述的是宾语，而不是主语。

ditransitive

Many people consider her one of the best teachers in the city.

许多人把她看作这座城市里最好的教师之一。
common 仔细端详

📖 指把目光或注意力集中到某人或某物上，认真地看、观察它。这里的“考虑”从思考延伸为带着注意力查看。

💡 常用“consider + 人或物”表示凝视、端详，常与“for a moment”等表示持续时间的短语连用。这个用法多见于叙事或描写，不能只凭中文“考虑”来理解。

transitive

He considered the old map for a moment before choosing a route.

他端详了一会儿那张旧地图，才选定路线。
common 以……为例设想

📖 在解释或推理时，把某个对象拿出来作为例子加以设想和考察，常用于数学、科学或说明文字。

💡 常用“consider + 名词”引出一个假设对象或例子，后面接对它的描述。这个用法通常不是在表达个人犹豫，而是在引导读者一起观察一个案例，语体往往较书面。

transitive

Consider a small business with only three employees.

设想一家只有三名员工的小企业。
rare 审议动议

📖 在议会、委员会等正式程序中，指对一项动议、提案或修正案进行审议并作出处理。

💡 常用“consider a motion/proposal/amendment”这类结构，主语通常是委员会、议会或其他正式机构。它属于程序性正式用语，日常谈话中通常用更普通的“讨论”或“审查”来表达。

transitive
common 顾及；考虑到

📖 把某人的感受、某个因素或可能的影响纳入判断，不忽略它的重要性，含有体谅和重视的意味。

💡 常用“consider + 感受、需要、因素”或“consider + 影响”表示顾及。它不一定表示专门讨论这个对象，而是说作决定时把它算进去；在否定句中尤其常用于批评某人不体谅他人。

Please consider the needs of older passengers when planning the service.

规划这项服务时，请顾及老年乘客的需要。
common 认为

📖 经过思考后形成看法，认为某个事实或判断成立，语气常比直接说“觉得”更正式、更有分析意味。

💡 常用“consider + 宾语 + 形容词或名词”以及较正式的“consider that + 从句”。表达个人看法时，它往往带有审慎判断色彩；若只是临时感受，普通口语中的“觉得”可能更自然。

The doctor considers the treatment safe for most patients.

医生认为这种治疗对大多数患者来说是安全的。
