我給貼文下了如此標題：

How would you like your victory served?

是把勝利比喻成美食了吧？

(就說了肚子微餓時，腦神經會跑錯迴路)

認真來整理一下常和 victory 一起出現的形容詞，外加一些相關詞組，造句好用。

1. 得勝

    to win / score a victory

2. 小勝

    a narrow / small victory

3. 大勝

    普通用詞：a great / major victory

    誇張用詞：a crushing / stunning / resounding / impressive victory

    絕對的勝利：an outright victory, a landslide (victory)

    決定性的一勝：a decisive / conclusive / signature victory

4. 贏得輕鬆：a(n) easy / comfortable victory;  to sweep to victory

5. 贏得慘烈：a Pyrrhic victory

    (註：Pyrrhic 的 h 不發音)

6. 贏得不易：to pull off a (surprise) victory

7. 被看好的居然落敗：an (election) upset

    不受看好的逆轉勝：an upset victory;  to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat

後記

把 victory 改成反義詞 defeat，上述 2 和 3 的形容詞也可用，例如 11月 26日舉行的地方選舉之後，彭博社 (Bloomberg.com) 一篇標題為 "Taiwan Stocks Sink After Ruling Partys Local Election Defeat"，新聞頭 (news lead) 寫道：

Taiwan stocks dropped on Monday after the ruling party DPP suffered a resounding defeat in island-wide local elections......

日本的每日新聞 (the Mainichi) 也寫了類似的一句：

Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wens ruling Democratic Progressive Party suffered a major defeat in Saturdays local elections,......

兩句的動詞都是 suffer，畢竟落敗不算是愉快經驗。
