表示沒辦到,沒做到,失信,或該做什么沒做。這個(gè)詞用好了,也不簡單了。不過這個(gè)詞特別好用。我們只需要加學(xué)一個(gè)fail to句型。
請看例句:
1、他昨天在演講中沒有提到過我們。(背景:該提到但是沒提到)
Version 1: He didn't mention us in his speech yesterday.
Better version: He failed to mention us in his speech yesterday.
2、如果應(yīng)用程序啟動(dòng)不了,也別慌張。
Chinglish: If the program can't be started, please don't be afraid.
Revision: If the application fails to load, just relax.
順便說一下,這個(gè)詞開始我也沒注意過,后來經(jīng)常看到老外喜歡這么說,再一注意,果真是這樣的。
