标题: consider的用法 [打印本页] 作者: 米样 时间: 2011-7-23 10:24 标题: consider的用法 今天看到这样的说法，求证！ Note that both "consider X Y" (without "to be") and "consider X to be Y" are idiomatically correct expressions, but "consider as" is not correct.
-RON (1)Consider X to be Y (2)Consider X Y (3)Consider X as Y all of them are correct.
the first two have exactly the same meaning; you'd use the first only when the extra words 'to be' are justified, either because they resolve some sort of ambiguity or because there's just A LOT of stuff between 'X' and 'Y'. examples: Most Americans consider Beverly Hills, a ritzy suburb to the north of Los Angeles, to be a desirable place to live. <-- possible ambiguity (could mean l.a. is desirable) if you don't include 'to be' here Most Americans consider Beverly Hills a desirable place to live. <-- no ambiguity, so 'to be' would be unnecessarily wordy
--
'consider as' means 'consider restrictedly in the capacity of or in the role of'. for instance: Considered as a work of art, Grant Wood's "American Gothic" is wholly unremarkable; considered as a depiction of everyday 1930's Americana, however, it is a classic piece. <-- i.e., the piece is unremarkable from the standpoint of art, but remarkable from the standpoint of american historical portrayal.作者: 神粥八宝 时间: 2017-11-29 17:06
