易错句子This is a very tried method.
正确表达This is a tried method.
tried 作‘经过考验而可靠的’讲时是绝对形容词，不用 very 修饰；直接说 a tried method，或说 a well-tried / tried-and-tested method。
tired 表示身体或精神疲劳，读音 /ˈtaɪəd/，拼写中间有 i；tried 是形容词，意为“经过考验可靠的”或“受审的”，读音 /traid/。两者拼写和读音相近，但意思不同，不能互换。
trial 是名词（也可作定语），指“审判”这一程序或“试验”；tried 是形容词，指“受审的”或“经过考验的”。表示“受审的”用 tried，表示“审判”用 trial，词性和句法作用不同。
tested 强调“经过测试”这一动作结果，多用于具体事物；tried 更强调因长期考验而被证明可靠，常见于 tried and tested、tried and true 等固定搭配。两者近义，但 tried 的“可靠”意味更浓，固定短语中不宜随意换成 tested。
