  2. defeat是及物动词,接名词或代词作宾语,可用于被动结构。
n. (名词)
  1. defeat用作名词的基本意思是表示“战胜”的行为。从胜方角度看可表示“战胜”; 从败方角度看可表示“战败”。具体译法根据上下文特别是谓语动词而定。
  2. defeat表示“失败”时,是不可数名词; 表示“失败的事例”时,是可数名词。
  1. defeat既作类名词,也可作抽象名词,如a defeat(一次挫败)和in defeat(挫败);

v. (动词)

  • 这组词都可表示“获胜”“打败”。其区别是:
  • 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。
  • n. (名词)

  • 人们认为那是伊朗挫败了伊拉克。
  • That was regarded as an Iranian defeat by Iraq.
  • 人们认为那是伊朗被伊拉克挫败。
  • conquer,overcome,overthrow,defeat,beat,subdue

  • conquer侧重战胜和控制。书面用词。
  • overcome多指战胜或克服非物质的东西,如困难和不良习惯等。语气较弱也可指在斗争或竞争中战胜或压倒对方。
  • overthrow指彻底击败对手,使其丧失力量和地位。
  • defeat普通用词,多指在战争、比赛、竞选或辩论中战胜对手,侧重胜利的暂时性。
  • beat口笔语均可用,可与defeat换用。
  • subdue正式用词,与conquer同义,但强调失败后的臣服状态;也可用作借喻,表克制、压抑感情、欲望等。
  • 用作动词 (v.)
    ~+名词 ~+副词 ~+介词
    用作名词 (n.)
