On second thought...
第二個想法？
On second thought(s): After thinking about something again. （after reconsideration) 再重新深思過後, 想了一想。
ps: UK -> on second thoughts US -> on second thought
ex:
On second thought, I don't think I'll go.
我想了想，我覺得我不會去。
還有兩個常看到的用法：
Without a second thought. = If you do something without a second thought, you do it without first considering if you should do it or not: 想都沒想.
ex:
I proposed to her last night, and she said yes without a second thought.
我昨晚向她求婚，她不加思索地就答應了。
have second thoughts: to change your opinion about something or start to doubt it: 改變主意或是開始懷疑.
ex:
You're not having second thoughts about getting married, are you?
你不會是對要結婚這件事改變主意了吧？

doubt用法 在 Re: [文法] doubt接over的用法? - 看板Eng-Class - 批踢踢實業坊 的推薦與評價
※ 引述《phallism (崇拜)》之銘言：
: 在書本的例句上面讀到下列這個句子
: There remains some doubt over her level of dedication.
: (譯:對她的奉獻度有存疑)
: 我對這個例句中的over有點疑問......
: 平常doubt當名詞後面接about似乎比較能理解
: 我想請問一下版友們doubt後面接over的用法也是ok常用的嗎?
: 感謝解惑!
doubt 搭配 over 的用法為常見，可以注意前後搭配字，如形容詞搭配 "little doubt
over" [1]，名詞搭配 "years of doubts over" [2]，動詞搭配 "cast doubt over"
[3] 和 "throw into doubt over" [4] 等。多參考好句學習就可以觀察更多的搭配。
[1]
In theory, the countdown to Turkey's June 12 elections ought to be a quiet
affair. There's little doubt over who will win - polls show incumbent Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan poised to win a third term with a comfortable
42% to 48% of the vote. (Time, June 03, 2011)
[2]
After years of doubt over whether North General, Harlem's last remaining
private hospital, would survive, the $150 million building project represents
a dramatic reversal of fortunes for the hospital, now at Madison Avenue and
124th Street. (NY Times, November 09, 1989)
[3]
And in recent months several senior figures have departed from OLPC, casting
doubt over its ambitious goals. (Economist, Jun 5th 2008)
[4]
Rising joblessness and the European financial crisis have weighed heavily on
Cameron's government, which came to power in 2010 on the back of promises to
control the country's debt and restore economic growth. Both goals have been
thrown into doubt over the course of 2011. (Guardian, January 2 2012)
