consider as 没有这种说法吧，某个800分的大牛总结说consider n1 n2 一定是对的。

不应该在这么说， 至少应该知道在什么context 用是对的，什么context下用是错的
当Considerｘ和Ｙ，中间没有其他ＮＯＵＮ，Ｙ直接发生在Ｘ上，用ＣＯＮＳＩＤＥＲ ＸＹ． 否则用 ＣＯＮＳＩＤＥＲ Ｘ ＴＯ ＢＥ Ｙ．
-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.-- by 会员 abjure (2012/9/4 18:45:25)
