首先咧~~defeat用于规模宏大、两方都是多人对多人的场面，如战争,足球比赛. 但像网球等一对一的小场面的比赛一般用beat. beat的原意是击打（用手，棍子等物品)人，就像拳击比赛一样．而defeat没有两人用工具互打肉体的意思．beat,defeat都可以做动词、名词。beat只可做及物动词,意为打败，做名词时意为“一击”defeat即可做及物动词，也可以做不及物动词。在做及物动词时，意为击败(China defeat USA. 中国队击败了美国队)，在做不及物动词和名词时，意为失败(Nazi defeat. 纳粹被打败了. The football team suffered a defeat.足球队输了.）
然后是include和contain，include主要强调被包含的东西本身是其一部分，而contain则强调包含不属于本身的其他东西在里面。
就是这样！！！！！~~~~~~~~~
