科学家找到延长细胞生命的方法

get to sb:让人讨厌或不舒服

try to do sth:设法, 尽力, 试图

Do not try to cover a mistake.

不要试图掩盖错误。

【词义辨析】

attempt,try均含有“试图，努力，力图”之意。

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。

Don't attempt the impossible.

不要试图做不可能的事。

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。

I'm sorry for what I did.我为我的行为道歉。

Maybe it's all for the best.也许这样正好。

经典台词:

Sometimes a little discomfort in the beginning can save a whole lot of pain down the road.
有时起初的隐忍可以避免一路的疼痛。

　
Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss. But every once in a while you find someone who's iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare.

有人住高楼，有人在深沟，有人光万丈，有人一身锈，世人万千种，浮云莫去求，斯人若彩虹，遇上方知有。
