The champion won hands down.
對(duì)話來(lái)源：考試大
Annie: That tennis final was a bitdisappointing.
Velma: Was it? Why?
Annie: Well, everyone was expecting amuch closer contest.
Velma: What happened?
Annie: The champion won handsdown in straight sets.
Velma: Her opponent must have had a bad day.
Annie: Or perhaps she was just too tired from the previous rounds.
安妮：那場(chǎng)網(wǎng)球決賽有點(diǎn)令人失望。
維爾瑪：是嗎？為什么？
安妮：嗯，大家都以為比賽會(huì)是一場(chǎng)龍爭(zhēng)虎斗。
維爾瑪：結(jié)果怎樣？
安妮：那冠軍球手不費(fèi)吹灰之力，盤盤取勝。
維爾瑪：她的對(duì)手那天一定倒霉透了。
安妮：也許她只是因?yàn)榻?jīng)過(guò)多輪比賽，太過(guò)疲倦了。
安妮談到網(wǎng)球決賽結(jié)果：The champion won hands down in straight sets。Set 有‘一套’的意思，例如a setof tools是‘一套工具’，網(wǎng)球賽以至少六局為一盤(a set of six or more games)，所以‘一盤’叫aset，而一場(chǎng)比賽則以三至五盤成績(jī)分勝負(fù)。The tennis player won the set five tothree即‘那網(wǎng)球手以五比三贏了這一盤’。至于straight一字，本義是‘直的’，常引申解作‘連續(xù)的’，作形容詞(adjective)或副詞(adverb)都可以，例如：Ithas been raining for three straight hours/for three hours straight（雨不斷下了三小時(shí)）。Thechampion won hands down in straight sets就是說(shuō)她‘盤盤取勝’。Handsdown（雙手放下）本是賽馬術(shù)語(yǔ)，指騎師眼看自己遙遙，終點(diǎn)已近，不再動(dòng)手鞭策馬匹。因此，handsdown現(xiàn)在常用來(lái)說(shuō)‘輕輕松松’，往往和win字連用，例如：(1) The home team won hands down as the otherteams were not particularly good（由于其它球隊(duì)表現(xiàn)不濟(jì)，主隊(duì)輕易取勝）。(2) The boxer boasted thathe could beat his opponent hands down （那拳師夸口說(shuō)可以輕易打敗對(duì)手）。安妮說(shuō)，最初大家都以為比賽會(huì)十分激烈：Everyone was expecting a much closercontest。Close作形容詞，一般解作‘接近’；用來(lái)說(shuō)競(jìng)賽，常指彼此相差不遠(yuǎn)或勢(shì)均力敵。
