常见误解
许多英语学习者会说 “I think about to do something”,但这在标准英语中是不正确的。
正确的表达方式取决于你想传达的意思:
- 如果你正在考虑做某事(尚未决定),应使用:
think about + 动名词 (doing)
例如:I’m thinking about going for a walk. - 如果你打算做某事(已有计划或意图),应使用:
plan to do / intend to do / want to do
例如:I plan to go for a walk later.
正确用法示例
- ✅ She’s thinking about changing her job.
- ✅ They are thinking about moving to another city.
- ✅ I intend to finish this project by Friday.
- ✅ We plan to visit our grandparents next week.
❌ 错误示例:He thinks about to call his friend.(应改为:He is thinking about calling his friend.)
为什么不能说 “think about to do”?
动词 think about 后面接的是“思考的内容”,在英语中这个内容通常以名词或动名词(-ing 形式)出现,而不是不定式(to do)。
类似结构还有:dream of doing、feel like doing、look forward to doing 等。
