  • 词义辨析

    attempt, endeavour, try

    这组词都有“尝试”或“设法 ”的意思。它们之间的区别是:
    1.attempt只用作及物动词,强调“希望成功”,但不一定成功,是正式用语。例如:
    We attempted a race.我们试图进行一次比赛。
    It would be a waste of time to attempt the impossible.试图做办不到的事是浪费时间。
    2.endeavour在作“努力”“尽力”解时,是褒义词,指为了完成某事而作出巨大的努力,尤其在面临困难的时候。例如:
    The UN is endeavouring to establish peace.联合国正在为世界和平而努力。
    Galieo endeavoured to prove that the earth rotates around the sun.伽利略尽力证明地球是绕着太阳转的。
    3.try既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词,强调通过多种努力,力争取得成功,还有“审讯,审理”的意思,常用于日常口语中。例如:
    I don't think I can do it, but I'll try.我认为我做不来那个,但我愿试一试。
    If you can't do it the first time, try again.要是你第一次做不成,就再试一下。
    Who is going to try the case?谁将审理此案件?

    词源记忆法

    at-同ad-=去;-tempt,同tend,倾向。鼻音m,n为音变,所以m=n。连起来就是去……的倾向,我们应该能理解尝试这个动作中确实包含了做某种事情的一种倾向性。你具有了某种倾向(tend),再顺着这种倾向去尝试(attempt),如果失败了,再切换为另外一种倾向(tend),然后再尝试(attempt)。
