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。
