用法筆記

Often used intransitively in sports contexts. When naming the person or team you beat, use against or over after won: 'our team won against the defending champions'. Do not use win with a person as the direct object — use beat instead.

win takes the game or contest as its object, not the opponent.

more natural phrasing with beat for the opponent.

no preposition before the object.

用法筆記

Strictly transitive. Common objects are abstract: trust, support, respect, confidence, loyalty, admiration, approval, affection, heart. Use win back to mean regain something lost, and win over to mean persuade someone gradually. This sense is less common in casual speech than sense 1.

常見錯誤

I won my boss by working late every day.
I won my boss's approval by working hard.
the object should be the abstract thing gained, not the person.
She won his heart by bought him gifts.
She won his heart by being kind and thoughtful.
after 'by', use a gerund (verb-ing).
We need to win the customers over our new service.
We need to win over the customers with our new service.
win over takes a person as object; use with to describe the method.
