英検2級のReadingでmanage to・succeed in・fail to・attempt to・try doingを区別できていますか。重要なのは「努力したこと」と「実際に成功したこと」を分ける点です。manage to doとsucceed in doingは実現した結果、fail to doはできなかった結果、attempt to doは試みを表します。try doingは解決法を試すときの表現です。

慶英会独自の語法4択20問・意味を保つ書き換え12問・独自4長文の内容一致12問=44課題を全解答・日本語要旨・本文の根拠付きで公開します。高校卒業程度の英検2級と、中高一貫校の学校英語の両方で使える無料教材です。

結論|試しただけか、成功したかを区別する

表現主な意味例文
manage to do困難を越えて実現するThe team managed to finish the report.
succeed in doing〜することに成功するThe club succeeded in collecting books.
fail to do〜できない・し損なうThey failed to submit the form.
attempt to do実現を試みるStaff attempted to repair the screen.
try doing解決策として試してみるStaff tried restarting the computer.
make an attempt to do〜する試みを行うThe town made an attempt to improve access.

重要:The staff attempted to repair the system.は修理成功の証明ではありません。The staff managed to repair it.なら実現できたことを表します。try to doとtry doingは両方自然な場合もありますが、前者は達成に向けた努力、後者は方法を試す意味が中心です。

長文1|図書館の予約システムの復旧

A public library introduced an online reservation system, but several users reported errors during busy afternoons. The technical team first tried restarting one part of the system, but the error continued. Staff then examined server records and managed to identify an incorrect setting. After correcting it, they succeeded in running several tests without the same problem. However, the library had not yet tested every possible type of user account. It did not claim that all future errors had been prevented. The library continued to offer telephone reservations while further tests were conducted.

A school team planned to present the results of a water-quality investigation. The group attempted to finish its report on Thursday, but several figures required further checks. It failed to submit the final version by the original deadline. The teacher gave the team an extra day to check the measurements. With help from a laboratory instructor, the students managed to correct an error and submitted their report on Friday.

長文3|博物館の展示と安全点検

A museum planned to reopen a small interactive exhibit. Technicians attempted to repair its control panel before a school visit, but an essential part did not arrive on time. The museum therefore failed to complete the repairs by Wednesday. Staff offered visitors an alternative printed guide and asked them to return later for the full exhibit. On Friday, technicians received the part and managed to complete the repair. They succeeded in passing the required safety inspection on Saturday. The museum reopened the display on Sunday, but it made no claim that the repair had improved educational results.

問39|Why did repair attempts fail by Wednesday?

長文4|公園の多言語案内板と設置場所

A town wanted to improve signs in a park for visitors who speak different languages. Volunteers attempted to translate the main instructions, and they managed to prepare versions in three languages. However, the group failed to agree on the best location for some signs because one suggested path was under repair. The town asked engineers to examine the path first. The group could not decide on permanent locations during the initial meeting. Organizers planned another discussion but did not claim that the signs had already improved navigation for visitors.

問42|What did volunteers manage to prepare?

  1. Instructions in three languages
