She walked into the room and greeted everyone.
她走進房間並向大家打招呼。
EN： Transitive Verb and Direct Object: The verb 'secured' is a transitive verb, meaning it requires a direct object ('a thrilling win') to complete its meaning. The prepositional phrase 'in the round of 32' then acts as an adverbial modifier indicating where or when this action occurred.
中文： 及物動詞與直接受詞：動詞「secured」（取得/贏得）是一個及物動詞，意即它需要一個直接受詞（a thrilling win）來完整其意義。隨後的介系詞片語「in the round of 32」則作為副詞性修飾語，表示該動作發生的場合或階段。

EN： In international sports tournaments like the FIFA World Cup, the 'round of 32' (or round of 16, quarter-finals, etc.) refers to the knockout stage.

This is the most-watched documentary of the year.
這是今年收視率最高的紀錄片。
