Consider 主要语义有考虑，认为，体谅，思考，注视等。
见下图。
下面是在柯林斯词典，consider其 认为这个语义词条下的句法信息。
1.VERB 动词 认为;看待 If you consider a person or thing to be something, you have the opinion that this is what they are.
【语法信息】：V n to-inf
【语法信息】：V n n/adj
【语法信息】：V n as adj/n
【语法信息】：V that
以下是这4种用法的例句
- 【语法信息】：V n to-inf We don't consider our customers to be mere consumers; we consider them to be our friends.我们没有把客户仅仅看作是消费者;我们还把他们当作朋友。
- 【语法信息】：V n n/adj
- I had always considered myself a strong, competent woman. 一直以来，我始终认为自己是个女强人。
- The paper does not explain why foreign ownership should be considered bad.报纸并没有解释为什么说外国人拥有所有权是坏事。
3. 【语法信息】：V n as adj/n

4.【语法信息】：V that
- Barbara considers that pet shops which sell customers these birds are very unfair.芭芭拉认为把这些鸟卖给顾客的宠物商店非常不地道。
二、模仿例句，改写句子
Some people think that History should be a compulsory subject in schools.
可套用柯林斯词典上的语法信息，改写成以下句子。
- 【V n to-inf 】some people consider history to be a compulsory subject in schools.
- 【V n n/adj】some people consider history a compulsory subject in schools.
- 【V n as adj/n】some people consider history as a compulsory subject in schools.
- 【V that】Some people consider that History should be a compulsory subject in schools.
这也许就是柯林斯词典的最大优点，会列出在单词的某个语义词条下的常用句法信息，方便我们举一反三，闻一知十。
三、从上面例句可得出，Consider 常用于宾补句和被动句中。再补充几个被动句的例句。
He is currently considered (to be) the best British athlete.他目前被认为是英国最出色的运动员。
•[passive + obj + to infinitive]
It is considered bad manners in some cultures to speak with your mouth full of food.在某些文化习俗中，说话时嘴里塞满食物被认为是不礼貌的。
