喜樂美語
  1. 1

    A win that was so easy it took no real effort — the winner was so far ahead that they could have walked, not run, and still finished first. It is a noun, usually with a or an in front: The election was a walkaway. The final was a complete walkaway. It is informal, mostly American, and belongs to sports reporting and casual talk about competitions and elections, not to formal writing. There is a second, quite different use in American business and law: a walkaway can mean a deal or a job someone simply left without any penalty or cost — but that sense is much rarer and you will not need it as a . Be careful not to mix this word up with the verb it comes from. Walk away (two words) means to leave, especially to leave a difficult situation or a fight; walk away from something also means to survive an accident . Walkaway as one word is the easy victory.

    （比賽、選舉的）輕鬆獲勝、大勝、一面倒的勝利。口語，多用於美式英語與體育報導；注意跟片語動詞 walk away（走開、抽身離開）不同
