形式與用法
come to think of it
口語慣用語,用來表示突然想到某事或重新審視剛剛說的話。常置於句首並以逗號與後文分開,也可置於句中作插入語。it 指的是「目前談論的整體話題」,不可換成具體名詞或 that。此片語為固定表達,通常保持原形 come,不依主語或時態改變。
範例:
顯示全部 (4)
Come to think of it, we have a quiz next week.
這樣一想,我們下週有小考。
其他形式:
now that I think of it
語氣較完整,常見於口語與書面;表「此刻想到這件事」。語意與原片語接近,語氣略正式一點。
範例:
Now that I think of it, I didn't email the teacher back.
這樣一想,我還沒回覆老師的 email。
now that I think about it
與 now that I think of it 類似,但 about 較著重思考的過程;口語常見。
範例:
Now that I think about it, we should book the tickets earlier.
這樣一想,我們應該早點訂票。
now I come to think of it
較偏英式、聽起來稍正式或老派,但仍可理解;用法同原片語。
範例:
Now I come to think of it, I have seen him at the library.
這樣一想,我的確在圖書館看過他。
常見錯誤
Came to think of it, I forgot my homework.
Come to think of it, I forgot my homework.
此為固定片語,通常保持原形 come,不因句中其他動詞的時態而改變。
Come to think about it, we should leave now.
Come to think of it, we should leave now.
固定搭配為 think of it;about 雖可見於部分口語,但較不地道,考試建議使用 of。
Come to think of that, I need to charge my phone.
Come to think of it, I need to charge my phone.
it 指的是目前談話的整體主題,不能替換成 that/this 或具體名詞。
