What does 算不上 mean in 算不上太美好的日子?

我是马拉拉 snippet



I transcribe it to:




2012年10月9日，星期二那天发生的事情，改变了一切。那天原本要大考，对学生们来说算不上太美好的日子。但和大多数同学不一样，我号称“小书虫”，感觉考试并不是什么大事。




I translate this to:




Tuesday, 9-th October 2012. That day's happenings changed everything. That day, we originally had a test, with students saying [something? 算不上], it's a beautiful day. But I'm different to most students, I'm known as "bookworm", I feel a test is not at all a big deal.




Question: What does 算不上 mean in this snippet?



Dict.cn translates 算不上 to "be not really", so I'm guessing it negates the "it's a beautiful day", so the students think it's "not really a beautiful day" or something like that. However, I'm not clear on this. (I think I understand the rest of the snippet.)

          I would translate 算不上 to be "cannot count as", so in your context, it would mean "you can't count today as a beautiful day as there is an exam".

            Your guess is correct. To be precise, 算不上 means can't be counted ; can't be regarded ; not much.



            So the sentence means that day can't be regarded as a much beautiful day for students.



            Some other examples.





            1. 我告诉她以古巴之外的任何标准来衡量，我都算不上一个富有的人。

              I told her that I was not rich by any standard outside of Cuba.


            2. 哦，爸爸，如果这还算不上鼓励别人结婚的话，我真不知道什么是鼓励了。

              Well, papa, if this is not encouragement to marry, I do not know what is.


            3. 然而，这或许又算不上是新闻，我想大家都知道你会变得很像那些与你一起出去玩的人。

              Well, maybe it is not a newsflash. I think we all know that you become like those that you hang out with.
