[译] 虽然他很忙,还是设法参加了我们的会议。
[误] Busy as he was, he tried to come to our meeting.
[正] Busy as he was, he managed to come to our meeting.
[注] manage 后接不定式,表示“设法做到”,强调不定式的行为或状态的实现。try 后接不定式,表示“设法去做”,“努力做”,但不定式的行为或状态未必一定能实现。例如:The wounded soldier tried to raise himself but he was too weak to stand up.那伤员试图站起来,但太虚弱了站不起来。
