英 /teɪk sʌmθɪŋ ˈɪntə kənˌsɪdəˈreɪʃən/美 /teɪk sʌmθɪŋ ˈɪntə kənˌsɪdəˈreɪʃən/
动词短语
考虑;顾及
基本释义
该短语的核心含义是“把某事纳入考虑范围”,即在做决定或判断时,将某个因素或信息作为考量的一部分。其本义源于“take”(拿取)和“consideration”(考虑)的组合,字面意思为“将某物拿入考虑之中”。引申义包括“重视”、“顾及”,强调在决策过程中不忽视特定因素。从本义到引申义,体现了从具体动作(拿取)到抽象思维(考虑)的隐喻延伸。
构词与来源
“take”源自古英语“tacan”,意为“抓住、拿取”;“consideration”源自拉丁语“consideratio”,由“con-”(共同)和“sidus”(星星)组成,原意是“观察星象”,后引申为“仔细思考”。整个短语的构词逻辑是“拿取某物进入思考”,形象地表达了将外部信息纳入内心权衡的过程。记忆时可联想“把一件事拿进来,放在心里反复掂量”。
常见语境
该短语广泛用于正式和非正式语境。在学术写作中,常用来表示在论证或研究中对相关因素的考量,语气严谨;在商务邮件中,用于礼貌地提醒对方注意某些事项,语气正式;在日常口语中,表达个人在做决定时考虑某些方面,语气自然;在新闻报道中,用来描述政策或决策中的权衡,语气客观;在法律文本中,强调法律条文或证据的考量,语气庄重。各场景下基本含义不变,但正式程度和侧重点有所不同。
语法提示
该短语是及物动词短语,宾语通常为名词、代词或动名词。常见句型为“take + 宾语 + into consideration”,其中宾语可置于“into consideration”之前或之后,但若宾语为代词,则必须置于“take”之后。例如:“We must take this factor into consideration.” 或 “We must take into consideration this factor.”(后一种较少用)。易错点包括:误用为不及物动词、遗漏宾语、或与“take into account”混淆(后者更正式)。
同义词区别
与“take into account”意义相近,但“take into account”更正式,常用于书面语;“take into consideration”则更通用。与“consider”相比,短语更强调过程,而“consider”更直接。与“bear in mind”相比,后者更侧重于记住,而非权衡。选择时,若需正式表达,用“take into account”;若日常交流,用“take into consideration”;若强调记忆,用“bear in mind”。
常见误区
该短语属于中性语域,既可用于正式场合,也可用于非正式场合,无褒贬色彩。常见误用包括:将其误用为“take into consider”或“take into consideration of”,后者需加宾语时误用介词。此外,注意不要与“take into confidence”(信任)混淆。使用时确保宾语明确,避免歧义。
