Thanks Katy

Here it means try. Trial is used in a legal sense like the recent trial of Michael Jackson.

Hi,

'Trial' is either an experiment to see whether or how something new works or, as I have said above, it can be used in a legal sense. You make an attempt when you try to do something, which is usually quite difficult as in: He is making an attempt to climb the world's highest mountain.
