endeavour

1.endeavour不及try通俗，有“决心”和“继续不断”的含意。

2.endeavour（动词）后面接不定式。 例如：I shall endeavour to master English and French. 把endeavour看作不及物动词或及物动词都讲得通。

3.endeavour（名词）后面接不定式或at和动名词。例如：All his endeavours to effect a compromise（或at effecting a compromise）were vain.

4.把endeavour用在被动语态，该注意勿犯双重被动的毛病，如He endeavoured to effect a compromise是对的，但A compromise was endeavoured (by him) to be effected却不对，该改作An endeavour was made to effect a compromise。
