Mistakes are inevitable in our life and the word mistake is not the only option when something wrong happens. You dropped the ball, but you can still describe the misstep perfectly.

人人都難免會(huì )犯錯，mistake這個(gè)詞大家最常用（當然也有可能是只會(huì )有…）犯錯了不要緊，能花式說(shuō)我錯了，也可以是一種藝術(shù)。

所以咱今天就來(lái)看一下，到底可以有幾種錯法…..Here we go!

1. Bug [b?ɡ] 漏洞；瑕疵

這個(gè)詞大家再熟悉不過(guò)了，oh it’s a bug——電腦出了個(gè)bug，軟件出了個(gè)bug；But it can usually be fixed in a short time，通常問(wèn)題不大，很快能修好。

2. slipup [sl?p??p] n.小疏漏

Def: A slip-up is a small or unimportant mistake.小問(wèn)題，小錯誤，小事兒一樁~

E.g.Someone made a slipup in those brochures for the propaganda tomorrow.

有人在明天宣傳活動(dòng)要用的小冊子里面出了一個(gè)小錯誤。

3. gaffe[ɡ?f] n.失禮，出丑

Def:A gaffe is a stupid or careless mistake, for example when you say or do something that offends or upsets people.

Gaffe就是一種不小心、犯傻類(lèi)型的錯誤，摔杯子、說(shuō)錯話(huà)等等都是典型的例子。

E.g.He fell to the ground and made an embarrassing gaffe at the convention last weekend.

他在上周的會(huì )議中摔倒在地，出盡了洋相。

4. flub [fl?b] n/v. 搞錯，失策

Def: an act or instance of making a mess of something

搞錯

E.g.Come on, the textbooks are littered with flubs

真是的，這些教材錯漏百出。（litter是亂丟垃圾的意思，這里形容課本兒里邊兒的錯誤像人亂丟垃圾一樣到處都是，非常地形象）

5. botch [bɑt?] V.笨手笨腳地做；搞砸

Def: If you botch something that you are doing, you do it badly or clumsily

如果你botch什么東西了，就是搞砸了，或者說(shuō)是完成得笨手笨腳。

E.g.Oh you botch it! The solar panel can not be installed in this way.

天啊你搞砸了！太陽(yáng)能電池板不能這樣裝。

6. flop [flɑp] n.完全錯誤；徹底失敗

（聽(tīng)讀音就是直接往下掉的感覺(jué)，不太好）

Def: If something is a flop, it is completely unsuccessful.

徹頭徹尾的失敗呀。

E.g.It is the audience who decide whether a film is a hit or a flop.

決定一部電影會(huì )走紅還是慘敗的，是觀(guān)眾。

最后還是一句老話(huà)，失敗乃成功之母，只要善于總結，不言放棄，各種花式錯、花式失敗最終都通向成功。

【Beauty in Sentence】

If youre prepared to adapt and learn, you can transform.

如果你愿意改變和學(xué)習，你就能脫胎換骨?！锻跖铺毓ぁ?/p>
