释义：

try to 试图做某事，努力

try 后面如果接 to+动词的话就表示“试试还没做过的事情”，“尝试”，“努力做某事”等，相反，如果想表达“想尽办法不做某事”时可以用 try not to。但 try ... ing 则表示“试试看……”。

例句：

I tried to help her.
我本来想帮助她来着。
I don't get it. What are you trying to say?
我不太明白，你到底想说什么？
I tried eating Korean food. It was delicious.
我尝过韩国料理，挺不错的。

对话：

A: If I had his phone number, I would call him.
如果我知道他的号码， 我会给他打电话的。
B: Why don't you try to get his number?
那你为什么没试着跟他要电话号码？
