1. 1輕鬆獲勝、壓倒性勝利;(對手棄權的)不戰而勝

    A win that came very easily — the other side was so weak, or gave up so completely, that you hardly had to try.

    A win一場勝利 that came very easily贏得非常輕鬆——the other side對方 was so weak弱到、or gave up so completely或放棄到那麼徹底,that以至於 you hardly had to try你幾乎不用出力。

    Most often in sport and in competitions like elections: "The final was a walkover." There is a narrower, more technical use in sport too, where a walkover means your opponent did not turn up or pulled out, so you go through without playing at all — tennis and boxing use it this way, and it is sometimes to w/o on a score sheet.

    Most often最常 in sport and in competitions like elections用在運動和像選舉這樣的比賽裡:「The final was a walkover決賽是a walkover。」There is a narrower, more technical use運動裡還有一個更窄、更專業的用法,where在這個用法裡 a walkover means你的opponent對手 did not turn up or pulled out沒出現或棄權,so you go through without playing at all你就直接晉級、不用比——tennis and boxing use it this way網球和拳擊都這樣用,and it is sometimes shortened to w/o on a score sheet在計分表上有時縮寫成w/o。

    In ordinary talk it just means an easy victory, and it can carry a small note of disappointment: a walkover is not much fun to watch. It is a countable noun, so a walkover, two walkovers.

    In ordinary talk日常說法裡 it just means它就只是指 an easy victory一場輕鬆的勝利,and it can carry而且可能帶 a small note of disappointment一點點失望的味道:a walkover因為a walkover not much fun to watch不太好看。It is a countable noun這是個可數名詞,so所以 a walkover一場walkover, two walkovers兩場walkovers。

    Slightly informal, but you will see it in the sports pages.

    Slightly informal語氣稍微口語,but you will see it不過你會在 in the sports pages體育版上見到它。
