"try one's best" 是英语中非常常用的短语,核心含义是 "尽某人最大努力",强调投入全部精力或能力去完成某件事。
"try" 是"尝试","one's best" 是"某人的最好(状态/努力)",组合起来就是"把某人最好的努力拿出来"——即全力以赴。
短语的核心结构是:
(物主代词:my/your/his/her/our/their;名词所有格:Tom's/Lily's 等)
1、 鼓励他人:
Try your best!(尽你最大努力!)
Don't worry—just try your best in the exam.(别担心,考试尽力就好。)
2、 表达自己的决心:
I'll try my best to help you with your homework.(我会尽全力帮你做作业。)
She tried her best to learn English well.(她尽全力学好英语。)
3、 描述他人的努力:
They tried their best to finish the project on time.(他们尽全力按时完成项目。)
The team tried its best to win the game.(球队尽全力赢下比赛。)
可以和 do one's best 互换(含义完全相同):
I'll do my best to arrive early. = I'll try my best to arrive early.(我会尽全力早到。)
"one's" 必须根据主语替换:主语是"I"就用"my",主语是"you"就用"your",以此类推。
后面必须接不定式(to do),表示"努力去做的具体事情"。
简单来说,"try one's best to do sth." 就是"拼尽全力做某事",是口语和写作中表达"努力"的高频短语~
