regard or consider? 用 regard 还是 consider？

These two words have the same meaning, but they are used in different patterns and structures. In this meaning consider must be used with a complement or clause: you can consider sb/sth to be sth or consider sb/sth as sth, although very often the to be or as is left out. 上述两词意义相同，但用于不同的句型和结构。用于此义时，consider 必须与补语或从句连用，可说 consider sb/sth to be sth 或 consider sb/sth as sth，不过 to be 或 as 常常省略不用：◆He considers himself an expert. 他认为自己是专家。◆They are considered a high-risk group. 他们被视为高危人群。 You can also consider that sb/sth is sth and again, the that can be left out. Regard is used in a narrower range of structures. The most frequent structure is regard sb/sth as sth; the as cannot be left out. 用 consider that sb/sth is sth 亦可，that 同样可以省略。regard 可用的句型结构较少，最常用的结构是 regard sb/sth as sth，但 as 不可省略：◆I regard him a close friend. You cannot 不能说：◆regard sb/sth to be sth or 或：◆regard that sb/sth is sthHowever, regard (but not consider in this meaning) can also be used without a noun or adjective complement but with just an object and adverb (sb/sth is highly regarded) or adverbial phrase (regard sb/sth with suspicion/jealousy/admiration). 不过，regard 亦可不与名词或形容词补语连用，只与宾语和副词（如 sb/sth is highly regarded）或副词短语（如 regard sb/sth with suspicion/jealousy/admiration）连用；consider 则不能这样用。

• see to have an opinion of sth 指认为、看待：◆Try to see things from her point of view. 设法从她那个角度去看问题。
• view to think of sb/sth in a particular way 指视为、认为、看待：◆How do you view your position within the company? 你如何看待你自己在公司中的位置？ NOTE View has the same meaning as regard and consider but is slightly less frequent and slightly less formal. The main structures are view sb/sth as sb/sth (you cannot leave out the as) and view sb/sth with sth. * view 与 regard、consider 意义相同，但略为不常用，也略非正式。主要结构有 view sb/sth as sb/sth（as 不能省略）和 view sb/sth with sth。
