核心问题
Charles Babbage is generally considered ____ the first computer.
A. to have invented B. inventing C. to invent D. having invented(全国高考,93-15)书上给的答案是 A, 但我认为正确答案应当是 B。因为动词 consider 之后只能接动名词, 而不能接动词不定式。
词典解答
上面的试题实质上是 consider sb. to do 这一结构的被动形式: They consider Charles Babbage to have invented the first computer. →Charles Babbage is generally considered to have invented the first computer. 参见 consider 。
