Think其实是一个很实用，但又比较复杂，最常用英语词汇之一。可以是不及物动词，可以是及物动词，还可以是名词。而作为及物动词，后面可以带直接宾语，可以带宾语从句。有些特殊用法要注意，比如，think作为不及物动词后面可以带形容词，比如，Let's think positive. 咱们往好的方面想吧。 You need to think big (= aim to achieve a lot). 你要敢想。
下面专门列举了think的习惯搭配。要注意，think for yourself，不是“为了你自己着想”，I thought as much， 不是“我想了很多”， think on your feet，不是“用脚来想”， 具体的解释请参考下面的词条。
