1
a great victory or success
A very big win or success, especially after a hard fight or problem.
Mẫu sử dụng:
[something] is a triumph for [someone/something]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes say *"do a triumph"* instead of using verbs like *"win," "achieve,"* or *"be": say *"Their victory was a triumph"* or *"They achieved a triumph"*, not *"They did a triumph."* Another mistake is using *"triumph"* for any small success; it usually suggests something especially big or hard-won.

to win or be victorious
To win or succeed in a strong way, especially when it was hard or there was a big problem.
Mẫu sử dụng:
[someone/something] triumphs over [someone/something]
