v.(动词)

think的基本意思是“想,思索”,指使一件事情在头脑中不断地浮现或使这件事保持这种浮现的状态,可以表示“想”的动作,也可以表示“想”的状态。还可指“以为,认为”,指某事在头脑中形成一个固定的概念,即“想”的结果。think还有“想象”“想起”“打算”等意思。作“料想,想象”解时,通常用于否定句,不用于被动结构,且常与can〔could〕连用。think在口语中,尤其是美式英语中还可表示“朝…方面想”或“专想(某件事)”。

think可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,后接同源名词、代词、动词不定式、带有疑问词的动词不定式或that/wh-从句作宾语。接动词不定式作宾语时,多用于否定句或疑问句中。

think作“认为”解时,可接复合宾语,其宾语由名词、动名词、动词不定式或that从句充当。充当宾语的动名词、动词不定式或that从句常置于宾语补足语之后,而以it作形式宾语置于宾语补足语之前(it现在趋向省去); 其宾语补足语可由“(to be+) n./adj./v -ed”充当,有时也可以 v -ing充当。

think是表示思维活动的动词,常用于转移否定结构,即形式上是否定主句的谓语动词think,但意思却是否定从句的谓语动词。

To think that ...意为“没想到”“竟然”,Who would have thought ...表示“谁会想到”, wouldn't〔couldn't, shouldn't〕 think of表示“绝不能考虑〔想象〕”,这三个词组都表示因事先未料到某事而感到惊讶。

当主句是I (don't) think...时,如构成反意疑问句,则其附加疑问句部分须与宾语从句中的主语和谓语一致。

think后不需用非人称代词it替代前面的整个句子,而可使用替代词so或not。

think作“相信,认为”解时,既不用于进行体,也不用于现在完成进行时; 作“考虑”“想念”解时,可用于进行体。think的过去完成时可用来表示过去未曾实现的意图、打算或愿望。

think可引出直接引语。可用于被动结构。

v.(动词)她似乎知道我在想什么。

误 She seemed to know what I thought in my mind.

正 She seemed to know what I was thinking about.

正 She seemed to know what I was in my mind.

析 think本身已含有“脑子里想”的意思,因此不必再用in my mind。

他把自己看成是个普通士兵。

误 He thought himself as a common soldier.

正 He thought of himself as a common soldier.

析 think后不可以直接接“ as adj./n. ”,而think of则可以。

我在想,我是否可以帮助他。

误 I was thinking if I could do anything to help him.

正 I was wondering if I could do anything to help him.

析 think不可接whether/if引导的从句,而wonder则可以。

我在考虑下一步做什么。

误 I think what to do next.

正 I am thinking what to do next.

我相信他是诚实的。

误 I am thinking that he is honest.

正 I think that he is honest.

析 think作“考虑”解时可用于进行体,作“相信”解时不可用于进行体。
