I'm James and today we're going to look at the verb 'try'.
我是詹姆斯，今天我們要看動詞"嘗試"。
It can be a little bit tricky to use this verb, because it changes its meaning depending on whether you use an –ing verb or a verb with to.
使用這個動詞可能有點棘手。因為它的意思是不一樣的， 取決於您使用動詞 -ing 形式還是動詞不定式。
So, let's take a look at some examples.
因此，讓我們來看看一些例子。
I tried baking a cake.
我試著烤蛋糕。
I tried to bake a cake.

These two sentences are almost exactly the same but their meaning is a little bit different.
這兩句話幾乎完全一樣。 但他們的意思有點不同。
I tried baking a cake.

When we use 'try' with an –ing, all we're saying is that we attempted to do something.

When we use 'try' with a verb and 'to', we're saying that a task is quite difficult to complete, or that we've failed.
