Please consider others' feelings before you speak.
开口前请考虑他人的感受。
语感
consider 比 think 多一克重量——不是随口，是慎重
考虑认为顾及权衡
think 是脑中随时闪过的念头；consider 是特意坐下来，把这件事在脑中转了好几圈。所以在高考写作里，I consider it important to... 比 I think it important to... 语气更郑重，显示出更强的论证感。另一个关键：consider + doing（不是 to do）表示权衡要不要做；consider sb/sth (to be) + adj./n. 中 to be 可以省略，省掉后意思不变。
陷阱
⚠️consider + doing，不接 to do
✗
He is considering to change his career.
他正在考虑改变职业方向。（to change 应改为 changing）
consider 后接动名词（doing），不接不定式（to do）
✓
He is considering changing his career.
他正在考虑转换职业方向。
⚠️consider sb/sth to be → to be 可省略
We consider teamwork (to be) the key to success.
✗
to be 省略后句子不完整或意思变了
✓
consider sb/sth (to be) + 描述词，to be 可省略，意思不变
consider sth + 形容词/名词，to be 省略是合法且常见的书面用法。
