win the battle, lose the war 指的是什麼呢?
war 指的是兩國間的戰爭
而 battle 是一場戰爭中的一次 ”戰役”
所以這句話字面上的意思就是 ”贏了一場戰役, 卻輸了整個戰爭”
指雖然一時佔上風, 長遠來說卻是吃虧的
比如和上司起爭執, 也許當下吵贏了, 結果卻因此種下惡因而導致失業或在工作上更大的障礙
例: The stock market might look better now, but investors should be careful not to
win the battle, lose the war.
If he hadn’t gotten the promotion, he wouldn’t have to be legally responsible for this incident.
I guess he won the battle, but lost the war.

重連英語 · Rewired English
I’m an American English teacher in Taiwan who works almost exclusively with adults.
I don’t teach tests, textbooks, or children.
My classes focus on speaking, pronunciation, and natural conversation, with real correction — not just chatting.
Classes are 100% in English (this actually helps speaking more than people expect).
I’m opening a few new conversation slots right now.
If you’re an adult who wants to actually speak better, feel free to comment or message me.
