二、词义辨析:各种尝试,先试哪个呐?
attempt, try, endeavour, strive
这些动词均含有“试图,努力,力图”之意。attempt较正式用词,侧重已经开始,且希望完成,但常隐含着不一定有预期的结果。try普通用词,可与attempt换用,但强调努力或尝试,后跟不定式表示努力或争取;后跟动名词表示尝试。endeavour正式用词,指尽最大努力、认真地克服困难去做某事。strive和endeavour一样,表示付出巨大努力,但strive侧重劳累与紧张,而不强调努力的结果。
三、你知道try和哪些词更搭吗?
try for
v.争取,谋求,申请
try on
v.试穿,试验
try out
1.试验
try square
n.曲尺,检验角尺
