思考時刻(精選分享筆記範例)

consider vs. contemplate vs. think about:

consider 考慮/細想/認為
I'm considering moving to Taipei. 我正在考慮要搬去台北。
Michale Jordan is considered the best basketball player of all time. 邁克爾喬丹被認為是永遠最強的藍球員。

contemplate 仔細考慮/沉思/凝視
I'm still contemplating the next step. 我仍在仔細考慮下一步。
He is contemplating the ceiling. 他正凝視著天花板。

considercontemplate當作考慮時,有的時候是能互換的,但大多時候是有差別的:
I'm considering moving to Taipei =? I'm contemplating moving to Taipei. 我正在考慮要搬去台北。(這兩句小有差別,considering意味著我認為搬去台北是可行的,而我試著要做決定了。contemplating意味著我還在考慮而不一定到做決定的時候)

I considered my choices. =  I contemplated my choices. 我考慮過我的選擇。(這兩句沒有什麼差別)

consider可當作認為, contemplate則不。
contemplate可當作凝視,consider則不。

think 想/認為/以為
I think you are right. 我認為你是對的。
I thought I was right, but I'm wrong. 我以為我是對的,但我錯了。
think about 想著/考慮
I'm thinking about you. 我正在想著你。
I'm thinking about moving to Taipei. =  I'm considering moving to Taipei.我正在考慮要搬去台北。(這裡thinking about等於considering,兩句就沒有什麼差別)
