听说他求婚失败了。

Tīngshuō tā qiúhūn shībài le.

I heard his proposal failed.

不怕失败才有机会成功。

Bù pà shībài cái yǒu jīhuì chénggōng.

You can only succeed if you're not afraid to fail.

我本来以为我会得到这个工作，但是没想到我失败了。

Wǒ běnlái yǐwéi wǒ huì dédào zhè gè gōngzuò, dànshì méi xiǎngdào wǒ shībài le.

I originally thought that I would get this job, but didn't expect that I failed.
