关于是否可以说think to do sth,有以下几点需要注意:
1. 若表示打算做某事或想做某事,英语通常用think of doing sth。如:
Are you thinking of marrying him? 你打算嫁给他?
All along we’ve been thinking of coming to see you. 我们一直想来看你。
Have you ever thought of applying for a job abroad? 你曾想要申请去国外工作吗?
We were thinking of selling the house but we have decided not to. 我们曾想卖掉这所房子,但现在已经决定不卖了。
He is approaching his 40th birthday, and thinking of retiring from sport. 他快满40岁了,正在考虑退出体坛。
有时也用think to do sth,但比较少见。如:
They think to influence the voters. 他们打算影响选民。
We thought to return early. 我们本想早点回来的。
2. 若表示想到或料到做某事,think后可直接跟不定式(这是一种比较正式的用法)。如:
I didn’t think to tell her. 我没有想到要告诉她。
I didn’t think to see you here. 没想到在这儿见到你。
Did you think to ask about the delivery time? 你想到过要询问一下交货时间吗?
3. 另外补充一点,对于“疑问词+不定式”结构,它通常不用于动词think的现在式和过去式之后,但可以用于think的其他形式之后(如进行式)。如:
I’m thinking what to do next. 我在想接下来要做什么。
“疑问词+不定式”结构也通常用于连用了助动词的think之后。如:
She couldn’t think what to say. 她想不出说什么。
She couldn’t think what to give the children for Christmas. 她想不出圣诞节该送孩子们什么礼物。
