Think through 是什么意思?想出计划还不算想周全

Think through 表示把细节和后果仔细想透。计划已经想出来,却可能连下雨怎么办都没考虑:与 think up 的差别,正是这场失败的关键。

Think through 表示完整、细致地考虑一个计划、决定或其后果。使用时通常是在脑中逐步推演,提前看出哪里可能有问题,例如 think through the risks。代词要放在中间:think it through。

想在对话中用 think through 吗?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

think through + plan/decision/consequences; think it/this through; not thought through (passive)

  • Before you quit your job, think through how you will pay the rent.
  • The new rules clearly weren't thought through, and students are confused.
  • Let's think it through together before we promise anything to the client.

修改原因

修改前We didn't think the details, so the trip was a disaster.

修改后We didn't think through the details, so the trip was a disaster.

容易直接写 think the details,以为 think 单独就能表示把事情考虑周全。但在这个结构中,think 不能直接这样接名词;从头到尾想透的意思需要通过 through 表达:think through the details。

Cambridge Dictionary

Think over 是先考虑,再给答复:Can I think it over and call you tomorrow? Think through 则强调逐步想清所有环节和后果:We need to think through how the new system will work。

thought through — 没有人提前考虑下雨会怎样,因此需要 thought through。Thought up 表示想出、发明,例如一个点子、借口或名字。这里的问题不是没有想法,而是没有把计划推演周全。

描述一个你考虑了很久的决定,例如搬家、换工作或一笔大额购买。说明提前想清了哪些问题,以及最后带来了什么结果。

Before moving to Berlin, I thought through my budget for the first six months, so I never had to borrow money.
