(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

checkmate 出自国际象棋，等同于汉语里的“将！”。在一方把关键的一个棋子放到致对方于死地的时候说一声“将军！”。不过现在这个短语也用来表达“一次彻底的胜利”。

例句

the ¹ surrounded the president's palace. he had no option but to agree to their demands: it was checkmate.

unless we make some serious changes to this business, the competition will catch up and it will be checkmate.

'checkmate' 也可以做为动词:

garry kasparov had the chess computer in checkmate after a fine series of moves.

请注意

stalemate “僵局”和 checkmate 的意思正好相反，stalemate 表示一种双方僵持不下的局面。

例句

i could only afford £150,000 for the house but the ² would go no lower than £155,000. we reached a stalemate and called the deal off.
