"think badly of" 表示对某人/某事持有负面评价、看法;看不上;不认可(相当于 "have a low opinion of" 或 "disapprove of")。
其中:
"think" 是核心动词("认为");
"badly" 是副词("差地、负面地"),修饰 "think",强调评价的方向性;
"of" 是介词,后接评价的对象(人/物/行为)。
该短语的基本结构是 "think badly of + 宾语(sb./sth.)",可用于肯定句、否定句、疑问句,也可转换为被动语态。

(她对那些对服务人员无礼的人评价很低。)

与"think ill of"的区别:两者含义几乎一致,但 "think ill of" 更正式(书面语常用),"think badly of" 更口语化(日常对话常用)。
例:I don't want anyone to think ill of me.(我不想让任何人对我有不好的看法。)
错误搭配提醒:不能说 "think bad of"——因为 "bad" 是形容词,无法修饰动词 "think",必须用副词 "badly"。
总结:"think badly of" 是表达"负面评价"的常用短语,核心是"对……看不上/不认可",用法简单,只需在 "of" 后接评价对象即可。
