好唔低/好唔着數英文係咩?

What a shame or What a pity
例
忘記了基本公式，真唔低。
What a shame/pity. How can I forget such a basic formula.

當考試的時候,忘記了一些很基本(或簡單)的知識,係十分唔低
It is a shame/pity that I forget the basic/simple knowledge in the examination.

如果一定要用 「某些事 is 十分唔低 (唔着數)」 這種句式結構，
is not worth it (不值得) 也可以。

It is not worth it to make a mistake in an answer.
Making a mistake in an easy answer is not worth it.

不過
is not worth it 是指一些有意的行為
e.g. It is not worth it to spend an hour on the question.

以上例句用於「忘記了基本公式」文法正確但羅輯上有點問題，用 It is a shame/pity 會好一點。

unworthy 中文翻譯應為「配不上」
unworthy: not having the necessary qualities to deserve something
e.g. He is unworthy of the honour bestowed on him.

Sorry 006, ignore my remark.
I am a little out of my head this morning.

當考試的時候,忘記了一些很基本(或簡單)的知識,係十分唔低(或唔着數)?
It's a pity that I'd forgot some basic & easy answers during the examination.
Note:
in English, it's a pity is exactly the same meaning of 好唔低, 很可惜 in Chinese.
Not worth it = 不值得, 也可以. 但 not worth it 多用在一件事或動作上, 例: It's not worth it to kill a dog to silent it from barking.
又如: It's not worth it that I'd forgot the basic & easy answers during the exam. 總有點不倫不類.......

1)好唔低/好唔着數英文係咩?

'very unworthy'


2)譯做英文:


當考試的時候,-In an examination

忘記了一些很基本(或簡單)的知識,-forget some basic (or simple) facts or information

係十分唔低(或唔着數)-is very unworthy

The whole sentence is:

It is very unworthy to forget some basic (or simple) facts and information in an examination.
