② 表示“认为，把……看作”，结构为：

consider sb./sth. （to be/as） 宾语补足语（名词，形容词）
consider sb./sth. 宾语补足语（分词，介词短语）
consider that从句

【提示】
（1）consider后的宾语补足语为名词或形容词时，to be或as可以用，也可以不用，见上例。
（2）consider表示“考虑”时，后面不跟不定式。
She considered to talk with him.【误】
She considered talking with him. 【正】她考虑同他谈谈。
She considered how to talk with him.【正】
③ consider和regard…as都可以表示“看作”，但consider表示“经过认真考虑后”作的结论，而regard…as仅表示“把……看作”。
【比较】
He considered her to be a selfish woman.（思考后的结论）
He regarded her as a selfish woman.（仅表示“看作”）
【比较】
