[SC总结] [请教]consider的用法

我的rp太差，到现在也没有装上longman

杨朋难句里面的第二句

A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give away abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower.

这是consider sb to do sth的用法吧。我看语法里面都是consider A B，现在也查不到consider还有什么用法。有哪位NN知道能否告知一下？

consider

Ø       "思考"、"考虑"(=think about)解,后面可接动名词、由"how, what等+动词不定式"或者从句作宾语.但要特别注意,consider后面不能直接跟动词不定式作宾语。

Ø       consider v.还可作"顾虑到"、"顾及"、"体谅"(=take into account)解。这时其后用名词或动名词作宾语。

Ø       作"认为"、"以为"、"觉得"(=be of the opinion, regard as)解时,后面多接宾语从句,这时一般不接动名词作宾语。

consider作"认为"解时,后面还可以接一个宾语和一个动词不定式作宾语补足语,构成复合宾语结构,但这种结构的动词不定式主要是"to be+名词/形容词";有时也可以是其它不定式,不过这种不定式多用完成时。注:consider作"认为"解时,后面偶尔也出现接不定式作宾语的情况,不过这时大都用形式宾语it,而将真正的宾语后移(Do you consider it wise to interfere?)

Ø       固定结构"consider... as/ to be+名词/形容词"多侧重于表示经过思考"认为……是……"。例如:

【OG65】Critics of the trend toward privately operated prisons consider corrections facilities an integral part of the criminal justice system and question whether profits should be made from incarceration.

OG的解释：When consider means "regard as," as it does in this sentence, its object should be followed immediately by the phrase that identifies or describes that object.

根据OG的说法，当consider=regard as时，只可以用consider sth. sth. 而不是 consider sth. to be sth.

对吧？

OG中我只看过consider sth. sth.和consider sth. adj.的用法, 我想这里ETS更prefer这两种用法, 因为consider sth. as sth.更加redundant.
