"Give (something) the (old) college try" = (từ cổ) cố gắng, nỗ lực làm việc gì.

Ví dụ
I offer that I often end up stuck in both arms before a “good” vein is ... I might suggest another nurse/phlebotomist (người trích máu) give it the old college try.

Experts in the sector have often commented on the lack of a unified platform (nền tảng hợp nhất) that can make it easier to control and use smart devices. Well, that’s about to change, or at least the three biggest tech companies in the world are going to give it the old college try.

As one of the most quintessentially (phần tinh hoa) ’80s-sounding bands, Soft Cell aren’t the easiest artist to cover. On their recent covers EP, Songs of Consumption, English psych (rối trí) outfit Toy decided to give it the old college try with the 1982 Soft Cell b-side “Fun City.” Frontman Tom Dougall’s layered vocals are far more ghostly than the earnest pop of Marc Almond. In Toy’s version, the keyboards are more robotic and twinkly than Soft Cell’s wonky new wave, plus the hopping guitar pulses are more pronounced. While the Soft Cell’s cut is more danceable (có thể nhảy được), Toy’s version is far more icy, atmospheric and expansive (có thể mở rộng, chan hòa) and—dare I say—far superior to the original. —Lizzie Manno
