  • 词义辨析

    endeavour, attempt, 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?

    endeavour(s), bid, effort(s), exertion(s), pain(s)

    这组词都可作“努力”解。它们的区别是:
    effort(s)着重指动作的本身; endeavour(s)着重作出努力的认真和决心; exertion(s)着重于动作的积极性或剧烈性; bid着重于为达到某种企图而作出的努力; pain(s)侧重为完成某事花费气力。例如:
    I will make a great effort to master English我会努力掌握英语。
    The cabinet is making all possible endeavours to bring about national economic stabilization.政府内阁将尽最大努力使国家经济趋于稳定。
    I was quite hot and tired after all my exertions.用力干后,我又热又累。
    Our Department is making a bid for the interdepartmental basketball championship.我们系正力求夺取系际的篮球赛冠军。
    For thirty years,Teacher Liu has been taking great pains in educating us.30年来,刘教员一直劳心努力地教育我们。

    attempt,try,endeavour,strive

    这些动词都含有“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。
