Behaviour or an attitude that shows you are too pleased with your own success — and, just as much, too pleased that the other side lost. The word is always a criticism. Notice that it does not attack the winning; it attacks the display. The complaint is that the winner rubbed it in: the long speech about how the other party is finished, the flag planted where the losers can see it, the team that keeps celebrating in front of the away fans. Because it names a public style rather than a private feeling, `triumphalism` is a political and word above all — used about parties after an election, countries after a war, and religions or ideologies that talk as though history has proved them right and everyone else wrong. Sports writing borrows it too. The English feeling behind it is worth knowing: British and American culture prize the gracious winner, so `triumphalism` is a real social fault, not just bad manners. A useful test — if the winner's behaviour makes even neutral people uncomfortable, that is triumphalism. Adjective: `triumphalist` ("a triumphalist speech", "triumphalist tone").
勝利者的傲慢、耀武揚威（含貶義）
組成triumphal + -ism. The ending -ism (from Ancient Greek -ισμός, through Latin and French) makes a noun for an attitude, belief system or style of behaviour — as in optimism, nationalism, heroism. So triumphalism is "the triumph attitude", carried further than it should be.

- But not only did Soviet triumphalism eventually provoke the Reaganite reaction in the United States, but, Kissinger suggests, it produced the overextension of Soviet resources that led directly to economic and ultimately political collapse.
- A better understanding of science should lead not to triumphalism but to the kind of humility recently expressed by Nobel Prize-winning geneticist Francois Jacob in Of Flies, Mice and Men: "Science cannot answer all questions. . . . It can, however, give some indications, exclude certain hypotheses. Engaging in the pursuit of science may help us make fewer mistakes.”
