一些情況可替換，但在另一些語境下：

think of 表示“想到”——淺層

think about表示“考慮”——深層

I never thought of doing that! (that possibility never crossed my mind).

Have you thought about my birthday present? (have you considered/decided what to get me?)

3. 詞鏈兒：make things different 讓事情不同

Sometimes just one cent can make things different.

有時候一分錢就能使一件事不同。

拓展：make a difference 做出改變
