Hi, everybody.
大家好。
Welcome back to English In A Minute.
歡迎在一分鐘內回到英語。
I'm James and today we're going to look at the verb 'try'.
我是詹姆斯,今天我們要看動詞"嘗試"。
It can be a little bit tricky to use this verb, because it changes its meaning depending on whether you use an –ing verb or a verb with to.
使用這個動詞可能有點棘手。因為它的意思是不一樣的, 取決于您使用動詞 -ing 形式還是動詞不定式。
So, let's take a look at some examples.
因此,讓我們來看看一些例子。
I tried baking a cake.
我試著烤蛋糕。
I tried to bake a cake.
我試著烤蛋糕。
These two sentences are almost exactly the same but their meaning is a little bit different.
這兩句話幾乎完全一樣。 但他們的意思有點不同。
I tried baking a cake.
我試著烤蛋糕。
When we use 'try' with an –ing, all we're saying is that we attempted to do something.
當我們使用"嘗試"與 動詞 -ing 形式,我們說的是,我們試圖做某事。
It could be a new experience – something that you haven't done before.
這可能是一個新的體驗。 * 一些你以前沒有做過的事。
I tried to bake a cake.
我試著烤蛋糕。
When we use 'try' with a verb and 'to', we're saying that a task is quite difficult to complete, or that we've failed.
當我們使用"嘗試" 動詞不定式,我們在說一項任務很難完成,或者我們失敗了。
