【每日一练】give it a shot

 YOU英语 2021-04-29

人生少不了的是尝试,尝试的英文大家都知道是try,除了动词的try,还可以用名词形式:give it a try; have a try等等。此外,我们还可以说:make an attempt,也是尝试之意。

今天我们要讲的是一个地道的英文习语,表达的意思就是“To have a try at; make an attempt”

give it a shot

尝试一下

Let's give it a shot. We've nothing to lose.

我们试一下吧。又不会失去什么。

A: Do you want to try driving the car,
to see how you like it?

你要不试一下开这辆车,看看你是否喜欢?

B: Yeah, sure, I'll give it a shot.

哦,当然,我要试一下。

I know this is really hard,
but if I don't try,
I'll never know if I have what it takes to make it,
so I've decided to give it a shot.

我知道这事真的很难,
但如果我不尝试,我永远都不知道我是否有能力做到,
所以,我还是决定尝试一下。

可以把其中的it换成具体的内容:

give sth. a shot

尝试做某事

You should give painting a shot.

你应该尝试一下画画。

如果我们把这个习语换个形式,说:

give someone a shot

这时,这个习语的意思就是:to let someone have a try; togive someone a chance to try,也就是让某人试一试之意。

Are you willing to give me a shot?

你愿意让我试一下吗?

最后再来一个变体:

giveit/sth. one best shot

这个习语的意思就变成了:try as hard as one can to dosomething,即尽某人最大努力做某事

Give it your best shot – that’s all you can do.

全力以赴去尝试吧——你只能这么做了。

Don't worry about being new, just give it your best shot.

别担心你是新手,尽最大努力就好了。

今天的任务就是:想办法找场合说十遍:

I’ll give it a shot.

用得多了,就不容易忘记,这个习语就真正成为你的了!

Have fun learning English! Now it's your time to open your mouth and practice! 张开嘴巴练起来!
