give it a shot
1. 解释
说起试试看,当然会想起“have a try”“give it a try”。在本文中也用到了have a try。
但是同样也用到一个同意短语:give something a shot。其字面意思是“对……打一枪”,比喻为“尽力试试”的意思。如果我们要强调说“全力以赴去试试看”,可以说:“Give it your best a shot!”
2. 例句
e.g. I'm not sure if I'll be able to help you with your homework,but I'll give it a shot.
我不敢确定我是否能够帮助你完成家庭作业,但是我会试一试。
3. 拓展对话
A: It would be so cool if I can win this contest. I don't think I'm good enough, though.
要是我能赢了这项比赛的话该有多好。但我不认为自己足够好。
B: Give it a shot! You'll never know.
试试看啊!没试怎么会知道!
第三, 咬文嚼字
1. 将give it a shot中的it改为sb.即:give sb. a shot的意思是“给某人打针”。例如:
If you can't bear it, we may give you a shot or admit you to the hospital.
如果您觉得耐受不了,我们可以给您打针或让您住院。
2. Nearly developed medicine的意思是“最新研制出来的”,developed是develop的过去分词,做定语用。
3. Have a try的意思是“试一试”进而说一下,表示“尝试做某事”,在短语后面用介词at,即:have a try at something。例如:
I will have a try even though I should fail.
哪怕失败,我也要试一下。
Let me have a try at it.
让我试做这件事。
