正常英式文法, 應該是:

Think differently; you can find out many different things.

要考慮最後那句, “you can find out many different things.”

Differently 在英國的字典上, 純是 adverb 副詞, 以上句子,用以修飾動詞 think.
只有美國字典並且列 different 可以做 adverb, e.g. Merrian-Webster Dictionary.
Think in what way? Think in many different ways.
不是 one unique way, 是 many different ways. (複數, 多過一個 way)

通常, verb 後面, 多數用 adverb, 只有 linking verb (seem, sound, taste, appear, look etc) 後面可用 adjective
e.g. She looked different.

問題 think 是否是 linking verb?
多數不是, 但是有時侯, 用起來 (usage), think 後面是 adjective, 尤其 informal English
例如 think big, think positive, think smart, think fit

You need to think big if you want to run this business.
You must do as you think fit.
The Magic of Thinking Big ~ by David Schwartz 一本書名

If you want to make a lot of money, think different.

如果你要搵許多錢, 思考要與眾不同
重點在 different 這個字, 是 adjective, 形容詞
好似形容個 noun, 可能形容是產品,事物, (思維內容)
think different 思考內容要不同 ~ a change in the content of our thought (thought 是 noun, 形容名詞)
think differently 是思考方法不同 ~ a change in the way we think

題外:
回應回答者004:
蘋果這個 advertising slogan, 他們叫人“think different", 最後目的是他們的產品, 用 different, 好像他們產品的形容詞, How different? 是 unique, (獨特), innovative (創新), 有自己品味, 與眾不同 (very different from others), 暗示他們產品不同 IBM, HP, Microsoft, Google, You have to think different, (thinking in a unique way, not in many different ways, change in the content of our thought) 才領會蘋果產品, 無論 notebook computer 或 iPhone.
可能這是Think different 和 think differently 分別, 雖然分別是 subtle

另外一看法: (純粹個人意見)
不知道蘋果廣告部用 different 當 adjective 還是當adverb.不要忘記蘋果是美國公司
或者蘋果廣告部使用英語, 在文法上, 不跟隨常規, advertising slogan 有自己一套. 不受文法,限制,與眾不同.

Thank you for your sharing.

覆 hahatse 博士:

Simplicity is a blessing!
謝謝高見.

若是嚴謹的英文，就應用differently；但隨便的英文，different也可以

以下文章，相信能幫助你

問：喬布斯叫人 Think different（思想要與眾不同），那 different是不是應改為 differently？
答： Think是動詞，自然不應用形容詞 different修飾，而應用副詞（ adverb） differently，例如狄更斯名著 Nicholas Nickleby第四十三回說： There is no reason to suppose that, being in love, he felt and thought differently from other people（我們不應認為，他在戀愛之中，所感所思就會與人不同）。
不過，隨便的英文口語，有時會把形容詞作副詞用，美式英語尤其如此，例如：（1） It sure（=certainly） is one of the best restaurants in town（這無疑是城中最好的餐廳之一）。（2） We must always think positive（=positively）（我們思想必須樂觀進取）。喬布斯那句 Think different，就是用形容詞作副詞。初學英語者，可不宜隨便仿效這種「形容詞作副詞」用法。


希望幫到你！

哥飛博士，簡單的事，無需想得這麼複雜；在隨便的英文裏，很多的事情都不跟常規，將形容詞當作副詞用，常有此例，其中意思與正常的副詞並沒有微細分別。正如古先生的例子，我們也可見這樣。英文不按常規，是常見之事，正如，It is me嚴謹說來也不合文法（正確是It is I...)，但約定俗成，卻最終合了文法。有本書，曾經說英文是生物──不斷改變，不斷成長。這就語文的特色。

Think differently

different 係adjective ，係用黎修飾noun
differently 係adverb，係用黎修飾verb, adjective 或另一個adverb
係上述句子 ________ 既字應該係用黎修飾 "Think" ，think 係verb 所以我地應該用adverb - differently

differently =不同地; 相異地
different=不同的

Think differently, you can find out many diffferent things.

Think different --> 認為不同
Think differently --> 不同的想法

In this case, the correct answer is THINK DIFFERENTLY
So

Think differently, you can find out many diffferent things.
