Bungles are bummers, it’s true. Ever said something awkward in front of a grandparent or dropped a cake on someone’s lap? Those are bungles — accidents that make you blush. Bungle can also be used as a verb when someone acts like a fool or simply messes everything up, as in “The teacher bungled her lecture because she left her notes at home,” or “My bungling dad fell into the punch bowl. Again.”
在错误的时间说错误的话、掉东西、绊倒和跌倒：这些都是一些典型的失误——而且总是令人尴尬。

词源：
bungle (v.)”to work or act clumsily,” 1520s, origin obscure. OED suggests imitative; perhaps a mix of boggle and bumble, or perhaps [Skeat] from a Scandinavian word akin to Swedish bangla “to work ineffectually,” Old Swedish bunga “to strike” (related to German Bengel “cudgel,” also “rude fellow”). Related: Bungled; bungling.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
bumble (v.)“笨拙地工作或行动”，1520 年代，起源不明。 OED 建议模仿；也许是 boggle 和 bumble 的混合词，或者 [Skeat] 来自斯堪的纳维亚语单词，类似于瑞典语 bangla“无效工作”，古瑞典语 Bunga“罢工”（与德语 Bengel“棍棒”有关，也有“粗鲁的家伙”）。相关：搞砸了；笨拙。相关条目及更多
