困難與失敗
Difficulty and Failure

1 說到困難，第一個想到的就是difficult，但其實還有一些形容詞可以替換：
demanding 苛求的，吃力的
challenging 很挑戰(zhàn)的
daunting 令人畏縮的
tough 艱苦的，困難的
e.g. Although students who choose this highly demanding subject may not get a satisfied score in the end, they will be rewarded with the improvement of study ability.
2 名詞 difficulty 的替換：
obstacle 障礙
barrier 障礙
e.g. Unavoidably, every one will encounter obstacles in life.
3 動詞用法除了 have difficulties in doing sth. 也有很多替換：
experience a hard time 經(jīng)歷艱難歲月
get into trouble 遇到麻煩
confront with difficulties 遇到困難
encounter obstacles 遇到障礙
e.g. Students who fail to follow professors’ instruction and guidance will soon get themselves into trouble.
失敗 Failure
1 最常見的名詞是failure，但同樣的，也有很多同義詞替換：
frustration 沮喪
setback 挫折
defeat 打敗
depression 沮喪
loser 失敗者
underdog 失敗者
also-ran 失敗者
e.g. We all need effective ways to cope with frustration as failure is usually inevitable.
2 失敗的動詞

lose one’s heart 失去信心
give up 放棄
e.g. It is a pity that the project came to nothing after years of arduous work.
3 形容詞
unsuccessful 不成功的
failed 失敗的
e.g. The unsuccessful experience of part-time jobs has serious discouraged students’ confidence.
最后，大家都愛說的“失敗是成功之母”這一句，千萬不要 Chinglish 的寫 "Failure is the mother of success"，英文中沒有這樣的表達。
但是大家可以引用這一句：
“Success covers a multitude of blunders.”
這是英國劇作家蕭伯納的名言“成功由大量的失望鑄就”。
