unsuccessful
★★
🇺🇸 /ˌʌnsʌksˈɛsfʌl/
形容事情没有成功、没有达到预期结果的。
💡 记忆钩子
把“成功”想成到达终点；unsuccessful 就是没到终点，因此可以形容失败的尝试、计划或行动。

core 不成功的；失败的📖 指尝试、计划或行动没有达到目标，结果没有成功。这个词强调“没到达成功的终点”，不一定表示完全没有收获。💡 常用“an unsuccessful attempt/effort”表示“一次未成功的尝试或努力”，也可用“be unsuccessful in doing something”表示“做某事没有成功”。不要把它只用于人；它也常修饰尝试、计划、申请等事情。Her first attempt to fix the computer was unsuccessful.她第一次修电脑的尝试没有成功。
