“完全故障”常见的英文表达是 complete failure 或 total failure。
complete failure 强调故障的彻底性,即系统、设备或部件等完全失去功能,无法正常运行。例如:The sudden complete failure of the power supply caused a blackout in the entire building.(电源的突然完全故障导致整栋大楼停电。)
total failure 同样突出故障的全面性,意味着所有相关功能都丧失了。例如:The engine suffered a total failure during the flight.(发动机在飞行过程中出现了完全故障。 )
