Success 成功 & Failure 失败（3）
Samantha’s brother, Disastrous Dan, is the opposite – everything he attempts seems to fail miserably. He wanted to be a doctor, but his teachers told him he wasn’t smart enough, dashing his hopes (making him abandon hope) of a career in medicine. He had the opportunity to do a prestigious internship in another country, but he lost his nerve (lost his courage) and turned down the offer.
萨曼莎的哥哥，悲催的丹是完全相反的--他所做的一切似乎都是彻底的失败。他想成为一名医生，但他的老师告诉他，他不够聪明，使他对医学事业的希望破灭(使他放弃希望)。他曾经有机会在另一个国家做一个有声望的实习，但他失去了勇气，拒绝了这个邀请。
He then applied for various jobs, but completely failed to show up to the interviews on time. He was eventually hired, but later lost his job during an economic downturn due to his mediocre performance(average work, not very special) and total lack of remarkable achievements.
然后，他申请了各种工作，但完全没有准时参加面试。他最终被录用了，但后来因为表现平平(工作平平，不是很特别)和非常缺少显著的成就，在经济低迷时期丢掉了工作。
