1
take control by force in war
to take control of a country or people by war and force
用法模式：
to conquer [a country/territory/people]

Learners sometimes use *conquer* instead of *colonize* or *occupy*. *Conquer* focuses on winning control by force, usually in a war. *Occupy* is about staying and controlling an area, and *colonize* is about settling and controlling it over time.
近义词
subjugate (More formal and technical; emphasizes bringing people under strict control and often oppression.)
反义词
liberate (Means to free a country or people from control by another power, the opposite of conquering them.)

2
defeat an opponent or rival
to beat someone or something, especially in a strong or complete way
用法模式：
to conquer [an enemy/a rival/a team]
常见错误：
Learners often use *win* instead of *conquer*. *Win* is more common in everyday speech: you *win a game* or *win against a team*. *Conquer* sounds stronger or more dramatic and is used when the victory is big, surprising, or complete.
近义词
defeat (The most common everyday word; does not always suggest the same sense of total or impressive victory that *conquer* can imply.)
反义词
lose to (Means to be defeated by someone else in a contest, the direct opposite of conquering them.)

to win against a problem, fear, habit, or other hard thing
用法模式：
to conquer [a fear/a problem/a disease/a challenge]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes say *fight with my fear* or *win my fear*. In English, we usually say *overcome* or *conquer* a fear or problem, not *win* it.
近义词
overcome (Very common in this sense; slightly less dramatic than *conquer* and can sound more neutral or everyday.)

to become very successful and powerful in a place or area, like a market or industry
用法模式：

近义词

win someone’s love or admiration
to make someone love you or admire you very much
用法模式：
to conquer [someone’s heart/someone]
常见错误：
Using *conquer* directly with a person in everyday speech (e.g. *He conquered her*) can sound old‑fashioned or too strong. It is more natural to say *conquer her heart* or to use *win her over* or *she fell in love with him*.
近义词
win over (Common and more neutral; can be used for opinions as well as love. *Conquer* sounds more dramatic or romantic.)
反义词
