Question

avail v.有利；有助于n.益处 (1) 这样的声明没有什么用。(2) 转让赃物对他们来说是有利的。(3) 他精明机智在这里无济于事了。(4) 恐怕我的帮助对你用处不大。(5) 他的雄辩在事实面前不起什么作用。(6) 他试了又试，但一切努力都不起作用。 Sometimes avail is used to mean "help," and in that case it can be used in a sentence like "Nothing seemed to avail me, not even winning the lottery." More often though, avail shows up in the company of "oneself of," as in the sentence, "I hope you avail yourself of my advice, because I'm very wise." It might seem like a complicated way to use a verb, but it's one you should avail yourself of if you're hoping to impress someone.
