art or writing. competition is a slightly more general word and can involve teams, groups or individuals competing. a contest is more often between a small number of individuals who are competing against each other to win a prize. in british english, competition, but not contest can describe an event that a large number of people enter by post or telephone, including events in which sb wins more by luck than by talent or skill, for example by being the first person to have their name picked out of a hat.这两个词均可指体育比赛，或展示才能或知识的竞赛，如表演、艺术或写作等。competition 比 contest 略为通用，可指小组、团体或个人之间的竞赛。contest 较常指为数不多的参赛者为竞逐奖项的比赛。在英式英语中，指许多人寄信或打电话参加的抽奖或竞猜活动用 competition，而不用 contest。这些活动很多是靠运气而非才能或技巧获胜，如谁的名字第一个从帽子里抽出来就赢◆competition: to win an oxford mini car, customers must guess how many copies of the oxford minidictionary will fit into the car.有奖竞猜：想赢得牛津迷你车，顾客必须猜出车里能放多少本牛津迷你词典。however, in american english, contest can also be used in this way.但在美式英语中，contest 也可这样用◆to enter the contest, simply send an email to this address...要参加比赛，只须发送电邮至以下地址⋯ ➡ see also contestant → participant contest [countable] (especially journalism尤用于新闻) a competition between candidates for political power or between businesses for economic advantage（对政治权力或商业优势的）争夺，竞争◆during the election contest newspapers are not allowed to publish opinion polls.在选举期间，报纸不允许发表民意调查。◆the other bidders for the contract complained that it had not been a fair contest.其他合同投标人抱怨这不是公平竞争。note 辨析 race or contest?both these words are used about political elections and in many cases you can use either word. however, contest usually refers to the election itself and sometimes the two or three weeks of campaigning just before it; race covers the whole period of campaigning for an election which can last months, especially in the case of us presidential elections. you can say that sb wins/loses a race/contest and that sb leads/is ahead in the race for sth but not usually that sb 'leads/is ahead in the contest for sth'. race, but not contest can also be used to talk about the drive to achieve sth, especially before anyone else has achieved it.这两个词均可用于政治选举，在许多情况下可以通用。不过，contest 通常指选举本身，有时也指选举前两三周的竞选活动。race 包括整个竞选期间，可以持续几个月，尤其是美国的总统选举。可以说某人 win/lose a race/contest （在竞争中获胜／落败），以及 lead/be ahead in the race for sth （在⋯的角逐中领先），但通常不说 lead/be ahead in the contest for sth。race，而非 contest，还可指为达到某一目的而进行的努力，尤其是赶在在其他人之前。 contest /kəntest/ [transitive] to formally oppose a decision or statement and try to have it changed（正式地）争辩，提出异议，反对◆her son contested the will, stating that she
