作为动词短语,"think over"的宾语位置是其核心考点,需注意以下规则:
代词必须放在"think"和"over"中间(即"think + 代词 + over"),不能放在短语末尾。
错误示例:Think over it.(×) 正确示例:Think it over.(√,“仔细考虑这件事”)名词宾语可放在"think"和"over"中间,也可放在"over"后面(两种结构都正确,但中间更口语化)。
中间:Think the problem over.(√,“仔细考虑这个问题”)
后面:Think over the problem.(√,同上)
"think over"常用于需要谨慎决策的语境,比如选择、提议、问题等:
1、 做决定前的思考:
Before you quit your job, think it over carefully.(辞职前,先仔细考虑清楚。)
She asked me to think over her marriage proposal.(她让我仔细考虑她的求婚。)
2、 解决问题时的深思:
The manager thought over the budget issue for hours.(经理花了数小时反复斟酌预算问题。)
Can you think over how to fix the machine?(你能仔细想想怎么修这台机器吗?)
3、 回应请求/建议:
A: "Want to go on a trip with us?"(想和我们一起旅行吗?)
B: "Let me think it over."(让我仔细考虑一下。)
需注意"think over"与其他“思考”类短语的差异:
think about:泛泛地“思考;考虑”(强调过程,不一定要深入),如:I’m thinking about my vacation.(我在想我的假期。)
think of:①“想起;想到”(如:I thought of you yesterday. 我昨天想起你了。);②“考虑”(较口语,不如think over深入)。
think over:更强调“深入、反复的思考”,聚焦于“决策前的权衡”。
意思:仔细考虑;深思熟虑
用法:代词宾格放中间(think it over);名词宾语可中间/后面(think the plan over / think over the plan)
场景:需谨慎决策的重要事项
通过以上规则和例子,应该能清晰掌握"think over"的用法啦!
