Usage Note :
Note that when you are using the verb consider with a 'that'-clause in order to state a negative opinion or belief, you normally make consider negative, rather than the verb in the 'that'-clause. For instance, it is more usual to say 'I don't consider that you kept your promise' than 'I consider that you didn't keep your promise'. The same pattern applies to other verbs with a similar meaning, such as believe, suppose, and think.
注意动词 consider 与 that 从句连用表示否定的观点时,通常是对 consider 进行否定,而不是对从句中的动词进行否定。例如,I don't consider that you kept your promise(我认为你没有信守诺言)的说法比 I consider that you didn't keep your promise 的说法更常用。这种否定形式也适用于其他几个意思相近的动词,如 believe, suppose 和 think。
