西班牙姑娘穆古鲁扎7:5、6:4力克头号种子、卫冕冠军小威，捧起了2016年法网女单冠军奖杯。请看本报昨日的报道：

    In a final that pitted one of the sport’s legends against one of its rising stars, Garbine Muguruza won the 2016 French Open over Serena Williams.

    The world No. 4 defeated Williams 7-5, 6-4 to capture her first Grand Slam title. She is the first Spanish woman to win a major title since 1998.

    Muguruza took it to the defending champion, matching her intensity and heavy-hitting to dictate play. Williams, facing off against an opponent 12 years her junior and fighting an adductor injury, struggled with her movement.

    报道中的pit ... against就是“使…对抗、使…竞

    争”。例如：

    He was left to pit his wits and will against nature’s fury.

    他只能用一己的智慧和意志去对抗大自然的狂暴。
