win /win/ vi. & vt.(won, won /wʌn/; winning) 1. 赢，胜，获胜: win in a game 比赛得胜(cf. win a game 胜一局) She won by four points. 她以四分之差取胜。2. 打胜，打赢，夺得: win a battle(match) 打胜仗（比赛得胜）；win the war 赢得战争的胜利；win the first place in the competition 在竞赛中获得第一名；win a prize 荣获奖金 3.用于短语动词 win out/through 终于成功：Most people are confident that the parents of the victims will win through in the end.大部分人坚信，受害人家长最终会取得胜利。win over争取支持，赢得反对者：They’ve won over a lot of the electorate since she’s been leader of the party.自打她担任了党的领袖后，他们已经争取到了很多选民。
［辨析］win, beat和defeat 都可译作“赢, 取胜”等，但win只能跟类似 a game, a war, a prize等之类的名词作宾词，beat和defeat后面可接人，一个单位或一个集体，如defeat a person (an army, a team等)。 defeat本来是个军事用语，用来表述在战争中战胜敌人; beat是个普通用词, 常用来表达在比赛中战胜对手。现在两者根据讲话人的需要也可换用，如: We beat/defeated their team by 10∶8. 我们以十比八战胜了他们队。
winner n. 得胜者；获奖者
