NOTE 辨析 Try or attempt? Try has a more general meaning and is used more often in informal conversation. Attempt is more formal and places the emphasis more on the act of starting to do sth rather than on the effort put into achieving it. When followed by a noun, attempt usually refers to an effort to do sth which was not successful or is unlikely to be successful. * try的含义更宽泛,更常用于非正式的谈话。attempt更正式,更强调开始做某事的举动,而非为实现某事付诸的努力。后接名词时,attempt通常指做某事的努力没有成功或不太可能成功The prisoners attempted an escape, but failed.那些囚犯试图逃跑,但失败了。
