clinch [klɪntʃ]:
If you clinch something you are trying to achieve, such as a business deal or victory in a contest, you succeed in obtaining it.
clinch原意為 “鉗住;釘牢” ,引伸為 “達成交易”,達成交易意味著 “經過一番競逐終於有了結果”,故再引伸為 “最終贏得勝利”。
分解:字根clinch = clench = hold fast。
分析:”緊緊的抱住” = “鉗住;釘牢”。
For example,
Hibernian clinched the First Division title when they beat Hamilton 2-0.
希伯尼安隊以2比0戰勝漢密爾頓隊,奪得了甲級聯賽的冠軍。
