參加競賽贏得第一名可以說 win first prize / win first place 注意不能加冠詞 the, 加了反而是錯的 (雖然平時序數前要加 the ) 還可以說 finish in first place, place first 如果是會頒發冠軍頭銜的, 也可以說 win the championship 不過很多比賽其實只會有一個最後的贏家, 就是 winner 而不會有第二名或第三名 所以如果看到像 He is the winner of the singing contest. 當然指的就是第一名 贏得第二和第三名的, 依此類推就是 win second / third prize / place 也可以說 finish in second / third place place second / third 比如: Mike won second place in the singing contest. = Mike finished in second place in the singing contest. = Mike finished second / Mike placed second in the singing contest. 贏得第一名的人, 除了叫 champion 之外, 也可以叫 the first prize winner 或 winner 就好 比較特別的是, 在選美比賽裡, 第二名是叫 the first runner-up 因為 runner-up 指的是除了冠軍者外, 剩下的人裡排名最高的 所以第二名者反而是叫 the first runner-up 第三名者則是 the second runner-up
