adj.|failed/losing;不成功的;失败的
"unsuccessful"是形容词,表示未能达成预期目标或未取得理想结果的状态。其核心含义包含三个层面:
词源与构成
该词由前缀"un-"(表否定)和形容词"successful"(成功的)组成,最早可追溯至16世纪英语对拉丁语"successus"(进展、成就)的派生。现代英语中,其动词形式为"unsucceed",但使用频率较低。
权威词典定义
根据《牛津英语词典》,"unsuccessful"指"not achieving a desired outcome or failing to accomplish an intended purpose",强调目标与结果之间的落差。《韦氏词典》补充其隐含"经过努力但未奏效"的语境特征,例如"an unsuccessful attempt to climb Mount Everest"(攀登珠峰的失败尝试)。
语义辨析
• 近义词:failed(失败)、fruitless(无果)、ineffective(无效)
• 反义词:successful(成功)、productive(有成效)、victorious(胜利的)
• 程度副词搭配:completely/totally unsuccessful(彻底失败)、largely unsuccessful(基本未成功)
实际应用场景
在商务领域指"未达成交易",如"an unsuccessful business proposal"(未通过的商业提案);在法律语境中表示"败诉",如"the plaintiff's case was deemed unsuccessful"(原告败诉);科研场景则指"未验证假设",如"the experiment yielded unsuccessful results"(实验未获预期结果)。
认知语言学视角
剑桥词典语料库统计显示,该词在正式文本中的使用频率比日常口语高47%,常出现在学术论文、商业报告等需要客观陈述结果的场景。其隐含的"可量化性"使其区别于单纯描述失败的"failed",例如"three unsuccessful job applications"(三次求职未果)具有明确的可计数特征。
“unsuccessful”是一个形容词,由否定前缀un- 和successful(成功的)构成,字面含义为“不成功的”。其核心意义是未能达到预期目标或结果,具体可细分为以下情况:
尝试或努力失败
例如:
结果未达预期
可描述计划、项目、比赛等未实现目标:
隐含持续的努力
通常暗示多次尝试或长期付出却未果,区别于单纯的一次性失败(如“failed”更直接)。
常见搭配:
近义词:failed, fruitless, vain
反义词:successful, effective, fruitful
