审判

shěnpàn

설명: 审判 당신의 레벨에서:

You use try when you want to do something new. For example, 'I try to eat fruit.' It means you are doing your best to make it happen. It is a very helpful word for your daily life.

At this level, you use try to talk about effort. You can say 'I am trying to learn English.' You can also use it for testing things, like 'I will try this shirt on.' It is a very common action word.

You can use try to describe persistence. 'I tried and tried, but I couldn't open the door.' It is also used in legal contexts, such as 'The suspect will be tried next week.' This shows you understand the difference between effort and legal judgment.

At this stage, you encounter idioms like 'try one's patience' or 'try one's hand at.' You also recognize the nuance between 'trying to do' (attempting) and 'trying doing' (experimenting). You can use it to discuss complex situations where results are uncertain.

In advanced English, try functions in sophisticated ways. You might describe a 'trying time' (a difficult period). You also see its use in academic discourse, such as 'the evidence was tried in the court of public opinion,' using the word metaphorically to imply a rigorous examination.

Mastery involves understanding the etymological roots of 'sifting' or 'refining.' You can use it in literary contexts to describe the 'trying' of a soul or character. You also master the subtle register shifts between the casual 'give it a go' and the formal 'adjudicate/try' in legal settings.

  • High-frequency verb for effort.
  • Commonly used in legal contexts.
  • Spelling changes: tries/tried.
  • Versatile for daily life.

When you try something, you are putting in an effort to see if it works or if you can succeed. It is one of the most versatile verbs in English, used for everything from tasting new food to attempting a difficult math problem.

Beyond personal effort, try carries a significant legal weight. When a court decides to try a suspect, they are putting that person through a formal trial to determine their guilt or innocence based on the law.

The word try comes from the Old French word trier, which meant 'to sift' or 'to select'. It originally referred to the process of separating grain from chaff, essentially 'testing' the quality of the harvest.

By the 14th century, the meaning expanded into the legal realm. Just as one would sift through grain to find the good parts, a judge would 'sift' through evidence to find the truth. It is fascinating how a word for farming became a pillar of our justice system!

In daily life, we often use try followed by an infinitive, like 'I will try to finish.' If you are experimenting with something, you might use the gerund form: 'I tried baking bread.' It is a very neutral, high-frequency verb.

In formal settings, you will hear 'the defendant will be tried for his crimes.' This usage is strictly legal and carries a serious tone. Always be mindful of the context so you do not confuse a casual attempt with a courtroom procedure.

Give it a whirl: To attempt something new. Example: I've never skated, but I'll give it a whirl.

Try one's hand: To attempt a new skill. Example: She wants to try her hand at painting.

Try someone's patience: To annoy someone. Example: Your constant talking is trying my patience.

Try on for size: To test an idea. Example: Let's try that plan on for size.

Try your luck: To take a chance. Example: We went to the casino to try our luck.

The verb try is regular but has a spelling change in the third-person singular (tries) and past tense (tried). Note the 'y' changes to 'i' before adding -es or -ed.

Pronounced as /traɪ/, it rhymes with sky, fly, pie, sigh, and my. It is a single-syllable word that is almost always stressed when spoken in a sentence.
