Try to do 和 try doing 傻傻分不清?Don’t worry!
背景導(dǎo)入:Michael 今天沒(méi)來(lái)上班念颈,這時(shí)上司說(shuō):“試試給他打個(gè)電話,他可能在家卵慰∩彻”
那么,上司說(shuō)的這句話裳朋,用英語(yǔ)怎么翻譯呢病线?
你可能會(huì)說(shuō):Try to phone Michael, he might be at home .
如果你是這樣說(shuō)的話,那么可能就是下面第一幅圖這種場(chǎng)景了:
瞧一瞧鲤嫡,第一幅圖中送挑,打電話這件事簡(jiǎn)直如“登天”一般吶!暖眼!

??英語(yǔ)辨析:
Try to do : if you use try to do , it means that what you are going to do is difficult , and you have to try very hard because you might not be able to do it. 如果你使用try to do, 意味著你準(zhǔn)備做的事比較困難惕耕,需要你付出一定的努力,因?yàn)槟阌锌赡軙?huì)辦不成诫肠。
e.g.? try to walk (your leg is hurt )
? ? ? ? try to sleep ( there might be a noisy drum sound )
Try doing : if you use try doing, it means that it is not a difficult thing to do , you just do it and want to see what the result is.如果你try doing, 意味著這件事并不需要耗費(fèi)精力司澎,你只需要試試看并看看結(jié)果。
e.g.? ? This summer vacation I tried paragliding in Australia.
