not achieving the intended result
Not getting the result you wanted from a particular try or action.
รูปแบบการใช้:
be unsuccessful in [doing something]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes say *"It was not success"* instead of *"It was unsuccessful" or "It was not a success". Use **unsuccessful** to describe an attempt, plan, or action that did not work. Also, use the pattern **be unsuccessful in doing something**, not *"be unsuccessful to do something"* (correct: "He was unsuccessful in finding a job," not "He was unsuccessful to find a job").

not successful in life or career
Not having the success you want in your work, life, or main goals.
รูปแบบการใช้:
be unsuccessful as [a role]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners may confuse describing a person (*"an unsuccessful engineer"*) with describing a single attempt (*"an unsuccessful attempt to design a bridge"*). Use this sense when talking about a person’s general career or life success, not just one action.
คำพ้องความหมาย
failing (Can sound more negative or judgmental, often suggesting repeated or serious lack of success.)
|
unpromising (Focuses on low chances of future success rather than current lack of success.)
คำตรงข้าม
