"try out"是英语中常用的动词短语,核心含义围绕"测试、尝试"展开,具体可分为两类主要用法,以下是详细解析:
1、 试验;试用(测试某事物的效果、可行性或适用性)
强调对物品、方法、政策等进行实际尝试,以判断其是否好用/有效。
2、 参加(选拔/试镜/试训)
指为获得某个位置(如球队成员、戏剧角色)而进行的考核性尝试,需搭配介词"for"。
作为及物动词短语,"try out"的宾语位置需注意:
接名词:宾语可放在"try out"中间或后面(如:`try out a new idea` = `try a new idea out`);
接代词:代词(it/them)必须放在"try"和"out"中间(如:`try it out`,不能说`try out it`);
接选拔类名词:需加介词"for"(如:`try out for the team` 参加球队选拔)。
Let's try out this new recipe—I heard it's delicious.(我们试试这个新食谱吧——听说很好吃。)
Before buying the phone, I want to try it out first.(买手机前,我想先试用一下。)

与"try on"的区别:"try on"特指"试穿/试戴"(如衣服、鞋子、首饰),而"try out"侧重"试用功能"或"参加选拔";
例:`Try on this dress`(试穿这条裙子) vs. `Try out this new app`(试试这个新应用)。
被动语态:若强调"某事物被试验",可用`sth be tried out`;
例:`This new teaching method has been tried out in three schools.`(这种新教学法已在三所学校试点。)
"try out"是口语化、实用的短语,核心是"通过尝试验证价值":
对"物":试用/试验;
对"机会":参加选拔。
掌握其搭配(如接名词/代词的位置、与"for"的组合),就能灵活运用啦!
