'think of' and 'think about' 그 차이가 궁금하다 ㅋㅋ

그냥 한번 읽어보시면 다 이해하실듯...

모르면 댓글을... 아마 호건 형이 답해주실꺼예요^^

 

Prepositions are a very tricky area! This is also what's known as a collocation issue...which means we need to look at which words work best in partnership with 'think of ' and 'think about.'. Basically, 'think of' usually means 'imagine' whereas 'think about' tends to mean something closer to 'consider', so the differences would arise in certain contexts. For example, if I say I'm thinking of a tropical beach, please don't interrupt me! I mean I'm imagining it or daydreaming about it. However, a sentence like 'they're thinking about whether to agree to the sale,' means they're considering the sale. In these cases, it's just natural usage patterns that tend to favour one form over another

But when we are talking about people, we often tend to use them both in a similar way: For example, if my friend had an accident and went to hospital, I might send a card and some flowers with a message which could either read: 'I'm thinking of you,' or 'I'm thinking about you', and the meaning wouldn't be significantly different.

이자식이 어려운걸 가지고 은근히 실력자랑할려고 하네...ㅋ
think of 와 think about 는 쉽게 접할때는 같은 뜻으로 사용된다고 봐도 무관하고... 보통은 think of 를 많이 사용하죠...뜻은 비슷하나 약간 다른의미를 부여한답니다..think of 보단 think about가 좀더 직설적인 표현이 되겠지요...위의 문장에 나온것을 보면 ..둘다 나는 너를 생각한다지만..
... of 는 약간은 약한 미묘한 여운을 남기며(그냥 단순한 친구사이나 그외 평범한 사이) 반면.. ... about 는 좀 직설적인 표현이라고 할수있죠...위의 표현에 빌리자면 그의 프로포즈 수준이라고...브라 너 외국아가씨한테 작업걸때 자주 사용하는 표현아니냐???ㅋ
간만에 문법책 보게 하네/...ㅋ (06.09.04 22:56)
