どちらも同義語ですが、「consider」は意思決定に関するものであり、「think」はあらゆる状況に適用できます
- English (US)
"to think" is a broader, more general term that "to consider."
Thinking is the act of conscious thought we employ at any given time. It is the general action of having thoughts, and it does not always imply you are trying to make a decision or come up with an answer. It can be used in as many ways as we human beings have ways of thinking.
"to consider" is more specific. It means "to >>think carefully<< about something, typically before making a decision."
Some ways you will hear consider:
"Consider the following: ...."
"We must consider all possible options before making a decision."
"Did you consider her feelings before you screamed at her?"
