attempt, try, endeavour, strive
这些动词均含有“试图,努力,力图”之意。
t :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。
例如:He attempted to get in touch with them but without success.(他试图和他们联系, 但未成功。)
: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。
例如: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。)
or :正式用词,指尽最大努力、认真地克服困难去做某事。
例如:He endeavored after more fame and wealth.(他力图获得更大的名声和更多的财富。)
和endeavor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。
例如:The swimmer was striving against the current.(游泳者正在和激浪搏斗。)
