think about指“考慮,回想,想起”多用來指“考慮某事情或?qū)δ呈逻M(jìn)行思考”
,側(cè)重于用大腦去思考,回想...如：
(1)He is thinking about travelling in the summer holidays.他正在考慮暑假旅游的事.
(2)She was thinking about her childhood days.她正回想她的童年時期.
而want to意思是想要干.后接動詞原型,常用短語want to do sth.側(cè)重于人的主觀愿望,如
(1)I want to have a bottle of water.
(2)He want to be a singer when he grows up.(這里的想成為這一動作,也是人的主觀愿望）
think about和 want to在本意上有很大區(qū)別,可以說這兩個詞沒有什么聯(lián)系,只不過在漢語中都有“想”,但是沒有聯(lián)系,要分清楚哦
