consider sb to do还是doing

问题描述

精选答案

consider doing sth考虑做某事，为固定搭配。consider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：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。We are considering Mary for a job。我们正在考虑让玛丽做这份工作。

We are considering you as a candidate。我们一直在考虑让你作为候选人。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，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”。
