用法說明

considering doing vs considering to do
- "considering" 作為介系詞或連接詞時，其後通常接名詞、代名詞或子句，例如 "considering the weather" 或 "considering that he was tired"。
- 當 "consider" 作為動詞，表示「考慮」某個行動時，其正確的動詞形式是 consider doing something，而不是 "consider to do"。
- "consider to do" 的結構在標準英語中是錯誤的，但偶爾會在非正式口語中聽到，應避免使用。
- 另一個常見錯誤是將 "would consider" 與 "to do" 連用，正確的用法應是 "would consider doing"。 EN: We are considering moving to a new city next year. 翻譯: 我們正在考慮明年搬到一個新城市。
EN:He would consider taking the job if the salary were higher.
翻譯:如果薪水更高，他會考慮接受這份工作。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Considering"?Which "Considering" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×Considering of the bad weather, we should stay home.
✓Considering the bad weather, we should stay home.
「considering」作為介系詞時，後面直接接名詞或名詞片語，不需要加「of」。加「of」是受「because of」或「in spite of」等片語影響的常見錯誤。
×He is very tall, considering that he is only 12 years old.
✓He is very tall, considering he is only 12 years old.
在「considering」後面引導子句時，「that」是選擇性的，通常可以省略，使句子更簡潔自然。加上「that」並非錯誤，但在口語和非正式寫作中省略更為常見。此處列為常見錯誤是因為學習者常過度使用「that」，導致句子聽起來不自然。
×We decided to go out, considering it was raining.
✓We decided to go out, even though it was raining.
「considering」表示「考慮到某個事實後，得出一個合理的結果或判斷」，帶有「儘管有...但還是...」的讓步語氣，但重點在「考量後認為合理」。若想表達純粹的轉折對比（儘管下雨，我們還是出去），用「even though」或「although」更準確。誤用「considering」可能導致語意模糊。
×He is in good health considering his old age.
✓He is in good health for his age.
雖然「considering his age」文法正確，但在表達「以他的年齡來說」這個常見概念時，更地道、更簡潔的說法是「for his age」。使用「considering」雖然可被理解，但聽起來較為冗長且不那麼口語化。
×Considering as a teacher, she is very patient.
✓Considering she is a teacher, she is very patient.
「considering」後面不能直接接「as + 名詞」的結構。正確用法是接完整子句（considering she is...）或名詞片語（considering her role as a teacher...）。「considering as」是錯誤的組合。
