  • 这组词都可表示“获胜”“打败”。它们的区别是:
    win表示“获胜”“赢得”,指在竞赛或战斗中击败对方,宾语一般是战役或胜利等; conquer表示“征服”,此词应用范围很广,既可指靠武力或精神道德方面的力量使对方屈服,又可指在排除障碍和阻力后取得胜利,该词强调的不仅是击败对方,而且还包括使对方就范; defeat应用范围也很广,但不像conquer那样含有彻底击败或征服的意思,而是强调暂时的胜利; overcome的意思是“克服”“战胜”,既可用于战斗或任何竞赛,又可用于感情、习惯等方面,强调压倒或胜过。例如:
    There has been a tremendous international effort to conquer cancer.全世界已作出了巨大努力来征服癌症。
    They acknowledged having been defeated.他们承认被打败了。
    We have the courage to overcome difficulties.我们有战胜困难的勇气。
