1. Привлекательная - attractive. Ты привлекательная - You are attractive.

2. Пытаться, стараться. Попытаться, постараться. (the secon set is as in I will try).

Thanks Vitalsigns. I guess "to fancy" is English slang, it's more like "phwoar ! she/he's nice".

I guess a more accurate translation would be:
1. to fancy - любить, нравиться (I fancy her.=Она мне нравится.)
2. to make an effort - прилагать усилия (more formal than to try) Cool
