有 speak highly of sb / sth 和 speak ill of sb / sth 的说法,有 think highly of sb / sth 和 think ill of sb / sth 的说法吗?
查词典可知:think highly of sb / sth 是没问题的。但是,英语可以说 think ill of sb / sth 吗?
think ill of sb 对某人不怀好感 (《外研社基础英汉词典》p.627) Don't think ill of any one. 别把别人想得太坏 。 (王福祯主编《英汉多功能学习词典》p.674)
▲《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》第7版p1015:speak / think ill of sb:(formal) to say or think bad things about sb 说……的坏话;把……往坏处想。Don't think ill of him. 别把他想得很坏。
▲《英语常用词用法·详解大词典》席玉虎主编,p1660:think ill of 接sb 是可以的,不知接 sth 的出处,请黎老师指教。
think ill of, 我没见过后接某事的,和同事们讨论了一番,大家都没印象,多方求证吧。
我也查了手头的一些词典,只有think (speak) ill of sb,没有 think (speak) ill of sth的用法。不少词典还把 think (speak) ill of sb 用粗体字列出,但没有一例用think (speak) ill of sth的。
