本题分为根据汉语提示完成句子和翻译句子两部分。完成句子需结合语境（过去时态）匹配对应的英语固定短语，注意短语的正确形式（如动名词、过去式）；翻译句子需准确运用英语常用表达，贴合汉语原意，符合英语句式结构。
【解析】
四、1. 由时间状语“Back then”可知用一般过去时，“对……很失望”对应固定短语be disappointed at，主语I对应be动词was，故为was so disappointed at；“未能”对应fail to，此处与介词at后的动名词形式并列，故用failing to。
2. 由“back then”可知用一般过去时，“被……深深伤害”对应被动结构be hurt by，主语I对应be动词was，“深深”可加副词deeply，故为was so (deeply) hurt by。
3. 由前半句时态可知用一般过去时，“彻底爱上了”对应固定短语fall completely in love with，fall的过去式为fell，故为fell completely in love with。
五、1. “忍俊不禁”对应固定表达couldn't help laughing，“伤心欲绝的”是heartbreaking，“当时”对应then，组合为I couldn't help laughing at my heartbreaking words then。
2. “起初”对应At first，“为了转移注意力”对应just to take my mind off things，组合为At first, I swam just to take my mind off things。
3. “失败”对应Failure，“可能”对应may，“降临”对应fall upon，“任何阶段”对应any stage in our lives，组合为Failure may fall upon us at any stage in our lives。
【答案】
