【語義表述】他們又冷又餓，疲憊不堪。

【錯誤表達】They were cold, hungry and tried out very much.

【講解辨析】我們來了解一個形容詞的用法和意思：tired。To be tired means to be feeling that you would like to sleep or rest; needing rest. 意思是“疲倦的，疲勞的，困倦的”。它和副詞out連用，即：tired out，表示“非常疲倦的，非常疲憊的”，相當于tired very much。請看下面的2個例句：

e.g. I’m tired out and don’t want to think. 我累得連想都不想了。

e.g. He was tired out after the long journey. 經過了長途跋涉，他非常疲憊。

開篇的說法是：They were cold, hungry and tried out very much. 這里出現的是畫蛇添足的語病，我們將very much去掉即可。

【正確表述】They were cold, hungry and tried out .
