考试临近，我在看tonyadidas的语法总结时看到think of X as
Y的词法。但是想起我做OG和大全时发现的一个矛盾点，关于think of X as Y 和 think of X to be
Y两个短语，10版OG明确说前者是idiomatic，后者不idiomatic，例子如下：
OG182. Consumers may not think of household cleaning products to
be hazardous substances, but many of them can be harmful to health, especially
if they are used improperly.
(A) Consumers may not think of
household cleaning products to be
(B) Consumers may not think of
household cleaning products being
(C) A consumer may not think of
their household cleaning products being
(D) A consumer may not think of household
cleaning products as（D）
(E) Household cleaning
products may not be thought of, by consumers, as
OG解释，A correct sentence will follow the idiomatic form of
expression to think of X as Y. Only D,
the best choice, uses as in the
comparison. The infinitive to be in A
and the participle being in B and C
cannot grammatically and idiomatically connect those choices to the rest of the
sentence. Moreover, in C the plural pronoun their
does not agree with the singular noun referent, consumer. E is awkward and wordy in its use of the passive voice.
但是我在大全看到另一个题目：
大全276. Erasmus Montanus, a
seventeenth-century farce written by Ludwig Holberg, both predates and
resembles Moliere’s Tartuffe and
is therefore thought to be one of Moliere’s sources.
(A) both predates and resembles
(B) it both predates and resembles
(C) both predated and resembles
(D) has both predated and resembled（A）
(E) because it both predated and
resembled
在非划线部分看到 (E.M.) is therefore thought to be one of .... 这里明显是think of X to be Y的用法。这是怎么回事？到底哪个是idiomatic？
