mistaken和wrong有什么区别（错了还是只会用mistake和wrong）

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.

人人都难免会犯错，mistake这个词大家最常用（当然也有可能是只会有…）犯错了不要紧，能花式说“我错了”，也可以是一种艺术。

所以咱今天就来看一下，到底可以有几种“错”法…..Here we go!

1. Bug [bʌɡ] 漏洞；瑕疵

这个词大家再熟悉不过了，oh it’s a bug——电脑出了个bug，软件出了个bug；But it can usually be fixed in a short time，通常问题不大，很快能修好。

2. slipup ['slɪpˌʌp] n.小疏漏

Def: A slip-up is a small or unimportant mistake.小问题，小错误，小事儿一桩~

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

有人在明天宣传活动要用的小册子里面出了一个小错误。

3. gaffe[ɡæf] n.失礼，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就是一种不小心、犯傻类型的错误，摔杯子、说错话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.

他在上周的会议中摔倒在地，出尽了洋相。

4. flub [flʌb] n/v. 搞错，失策

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

搞错

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

真是的，这些教材错漏百出。（litter是乱丢垃圾的意思，这里形容课本儿里边儿的错误像人乱丢垃圾一样到处都是，非常地形象）

5. botch [bɑtʃ] V.笨手笨脚地做；搞砸

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

如果你botch什么东西了，就是搞砸了，或者说是完成得笨手笨脚。

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

天啊你搞砸了！太阳能电池板不能这样装。

6. flop [flɑp] n.完全错误；彻底失败

（听读音就是直接往下掉的感觉，不太好）

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

彻头彻尾的失败呀。

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

决定一部电影会走红还是惨败的，是观众。

最后还是一句老话，失败乃成功之母，只要善于总结，不言放弃，各种花式错、花式失败最终都通向成功。
