Failed is a bit strong, I just didn't quite pass.

挂科这话有点严重我只是没通过。

" Do you have a pen? " Just " you have a pen? " It's a bit strong.

“你有钢笔吗？”就“你有钢笔吗？”有点强势。

It really was something amounting to a disgrace—oh, well, disgrace was a bit strong; but regrettable, anyhow, that such a thing should occur in a force that thought it was efficient.

真是近乎丢脸的东西——哦，好吧，丢脸有点重；但无论如何，令人遗憾的是，这样的事情竟然发生在一支自认为高效的部队中。
