英语短语"do one's best"的核心含义是“尽某人最大努力(去做某事)”,强调全力以赴、不遗余力的态度。
"do one's best" 是“主语+谓语+定语+宾语”的结构,其中:
"one's" 是形容词性物主代词(my/your/his/her/its/our/their),必须与主语保持一致(即“某人的”要对应主语);
常用搭配是 "do one's best to do sth"(尽某人最大努力做某事),后面接不定式(to do)表示努力的目标。
肯定:I will do my best to help you with your homework.(我会尽最大努力帮你做作业。)
否定:He didn't do his best in the exam, so he failed.(他考试没尽全力,所以挂科了。)
复数主语:We should do our best to protect the environment.(我们应该尽最大努力保护环境。)
常用于鼓励他人全力以赴,此时主语是“you”,物主代词用your:
Do your best! I believe you can win the race.(尽力而为!我相信你能赢得比赛。)
Don't worry—just do your best, and that's enough.(别担心,只要尽力就够了。)
Did you do your best in the interview?(你面试时尽全力了吗?)
Will she do her best to finish the project on time?(她会尽全力按时完成项目吗?)
She did her best to make the party a success.(她尽全力让派对成功。)
They did their best to save the injured dog.(他们尽全力救那只受伤的狗。)
"do one's best" 与 "try one's best" 几乎可以互换(均表示“尽力”),但细微区别在于:
"do one's best" 更强调“实际付出最大努力”;
"try one's best" 更强调“尝试去努力”(但日常使用中无明显差异)。
例:Try your best = Do your best(尽力而为)。
物主代词必须与主语一致:不能说“I do your best”(错误),需改为“I do my best”(正确);
后面接不定式:不能直接接动词原形,需用“to do”(如do my best to study,而非do my best study)。
总结:"do one's best" 是表达“全力以赴”的高频短语,适用于学习、工作、比赛等各种需要努力的场景,核心是“尽某人最大能力”。
