1. beat:侧重“过程性击败”
强调具体对抗过程(如比分焦灼、反复较量后取胜)
例:She beat him at chess after five intense rounds.
(五轮激战后,她在国际象棋中赢了他。)→ 突出比赛过程
高频搭配:
竞技/游戏:beat someone at tennis/chess/games(在网球/象棋/游戏中击败某人)
打破纪录:beat the record(打破纪录)
物理动作:beat eggs(打鸡蛋) / heart beats(心跳)
2. defeat:侧重“结果性击垮”
强调彻底瓦解对方(使对方目标/计划完全失败)
例:The army defeated the enemy forces, ending the war.
(军队击败敌军,终结了战争。)→ 突出彻底终结
高频搭配:
战争/选举:defeat the enemy/candidate(击败敌人/候选人)
挫败抽象事物:defeat the purpose(使目的落空)/ defeat a bill(否决议案)
情感冲击:feel defeated(感到挫败)
经典场景对比
场景 正确用法 错误用法 原因分析
体育比赛 He beat the world champion. ❌ He defeated the world champion. 普通比赛用 beat(聚焦个人对决)
战争/重大选举 They defeated the invading army. ❌ They beat the invading army. 宏观对抗必须用 defeat(表彻底击溃)
挫败阴谋 We defeated their plan. ❌ We beat their plan. 抽象对象(计划/制度)只用 defeat
特殊易错点
被动语态的情感差异:
用 defeated 暗示强烈挫败感:
After the loss, she felt utterly defeated.
(失利后,她感到彻底崩溃。)
用 beaten 仅陈述事实:
He was beaten in the first round.
(他在第一轮被淘汰。)→ 无情感色彩
固定短语不可互换:
✅ beat the odds(逆袭成功)
❌ defeat the odds
✅ admit defeat(认输)
❌ admit beat
