同近义词辨析

attempt, strive, endeavour, try

这组词都有“试图，努力，力图”的意思，其区别是：

attempt较正式用词，侧重已经开始，且希望完成，但常隐含着不一定有预期的结果。

strive和endeavour一样，表示付出巨大努力，但strive侧重劳累与紧张，而不强调努力的结果。

endeavour正式用词，指尽最大努力、认真地克服困难去做某事。

try普通用词，可与attempt换用，但强调努力或尝试，后跟不定式表示努力或争取；后跟动名词表示尝试。

trouble, struggle, pains, effort, endeavour

这组词都有“努力”的意思，其区别是：

trouble和pains均侧重在面临困难或阻力时所作的努力，但强调在努力时的细心和谨慎，相比之下，pains更适合表示尽力的努力。

struggle指为克服困难或阻力所作的努力，也指因决心、意志或干劲而产生的极大努力。

pains

effort通常指完成某特定任务所需付出的或大或小的努力，可指一次的努力，也可指坚持不懈的努力。

endeavour指持久的，坚持不懈的，甚至是终身的努力，强调努力的认真与决心。
