competition
★★★★
🇺🇸 /kˌɑmpʌtˈɪʃʌn/
🇬🇧 /ˌkɒm.pəˈtɪʃ.ən/
名词，表示为争夺同一目标而展开的竞争，也可指一场比赛或比赛中的竞争者。
💡 记忆钩子
想象几个人或几支队伍一起朝着同一个奖品奔跑：大家争先的过程是 competition，争夺奖品的那场活动也是 a competition，而站在你这边、和你较量的那些对手也可以统称为 the competition。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“竞争过程”和“一场比赛”这两个核心义项，再记住在商业语境中 the competition 常指竞争对手，而不是“那场比赛”。
- 不要把 competition 一律理解成“比赛”；它常常表示抽象的竞争压力或竞争活动。
📖 中文释义
noun
-
core 竞争活动📖 指人或团体为了同一个职位、目标或资源而互相争先的过程，重点在“竞争”本身，而不是某一场具体比赛。💡 常用“competition for + 目标”表示争夺某物，也可用“competition between A and B”说明双方竞争。这个义项通常不可数，不能在泛指竞争时随意说 a competition。它既可用于工作、商业等正式场合，也可用于日常谈论名额或机会。uncountableThere is fierce competition for places at the best universities.争取顶尖大学名额的竞争非常激烈。The competition for this job is strong.争夺这份工作的竞争很激烈。
-
core 比赛；竞赛📖 指为了赢得奖品、奖项或荣誉而举办的一场具体竞赛，可以是体育比赛，也可以是答题、抽奖等活动。💡 常用“a competition to do something”或“enter、win、hold a competition”等搭配。这里是可数名词，表示一场具体活动时要用 a、the 或复数形式。不要只把它理解为体育赛事，因为它也常指有奖竞赛或媒体活动。countableShe entered a photography competition and won first prize.她参加了一个摄影比赛，并获得了一等奖。
-
common 竞争对手群体📖 把参加同一市场或同一竞争的对手看成一个整体；例如一家公司说 the competition，通常是在说其他竞争公司。💡 常见结构是“the competition”或“be better than the competition”。这里通常作集体不可数名词使用，后面不直接接表示单个对手的人称用法。谈一个具体的人或公司时，应改用表示“竞争者”的词。collective uncountableOur new phone is cheaper and faster than the competition.我们的新手机比竞争对手的产品更便宜、速度更快。
