苦戰之後終於贏了

a major success · noun · C1
An important win or success that comes after you have tried very hard for a long time.
重大勝利
You can picture the Roman original: a general who has come through a long, costly campaign is paraded through the city while the crowd cheers. Not just winning — winning after a long hard struggle, and the visible glory that follows.
From Latin triumphus, the formal victory procession granted to a Roman general, itself from Greek thriambos (a hymn to Bacchus, sung in procession). The word names the parade, not the battle — which is why it still carries public glory rather than bare victory.
拉丁文 triumphus 指的就是羅馬給凱旋將軍舉行的正式遊行,再往上源自希臘文 thríambos(遊行時唱的酒神頌歌)。值得注意的是:這個字最早命名的不是「打贏」那件事,而是「贏了之後的那場遊行」。這解釋了為什麼今天的 triumph 到現在還帶著光榮、被看見、值得慶祝的味道——它的老家在慶功的隊伍裡,不在戰場上。動詞 triumph 則直接來自拉丁文動詞 triumphō。
