 ♣ consider over　(v.+prep.)
　考虑…　think about (sth)
　We must consider well over the matter.　我们必须好好考虑这个问题。

 ♣ consider, believe, think
　参见believe条。
 ♣ consider, contemplate, study, weigh
　参见contemplate条。
 ♣ consider, regard
　这两个词都有“把…看作”“认为”的意思。它们之间的区别是：
1. consider强调经过考虑后得出比较客观的看法；而regard则常指对外表的看法或凭眼睛所见而作的评价，强调主观地认为。试比较：

2. consider不仅能直接带复合宾语，而且能用to be或as结构，且to be/as常可省略；regard只可接as，且不能省略。下面几个句子的意思相同：

3. consider后可以接that从句，而regard则不可以。
 ♣ consider as, accept as
　参见accept条。
