赤点
含义: A failing grade on a test, traditionally marked in red ink; the minimum passing threshold that a student falls below.
赤点 literally means 'red mark,' referring to the old practice of writing failing scores in red ink. In most Japanese high schools, the cutoff varies (commonly 30 or 40 out of 100), and getting a 赤点 can lead to supplementary exams (追試), extra assignments, or in serious cases, 留年. University students also use the term loosely for any disastrously low grade.
例句
- 数学で赤点取ったら追試受けないといけないんだよ。 数学不及格的话就得参加补考了。Si saco un suspenso en matemáticas, tengo que hacer el examen de recuperación.수학에서 빨간 점(과락) 받으면 추가 시험을 봐야 해.
- 赤点ギリギリでセーフだったけど、めっちゃ焦った。 差一点就不及格,虽然勉强过了但吓死我了。Me quedé justo en el límite del suspenso — me salvé, pero pasé un susto enorme.빨간 점 겨우 면했는데, 엄청 초조했어.
- 赤点3つ以上で留年って聞いて、やっと焦り始めた。 听说有三门以上不及格就要留级,这才开始着急了。Cuando me enteré de que con tres o más suspensos repites curso, por fin empecé a preocuparme.빨간 점 3개 이상이면 유급이라는 말 듣고 그제야 초조해지기 시작했어.
