어조: serious

올바른 표현

• 歼灭战要一举摧毁敌方有生力量，消耗战则靠持续对抗逐步削弱其战力。(An annihilation battle aims to destroy the enemy's forces in one strike, while an attrition battle gradually weakens its combat power through sustained fighting.)
• 特种部队封锁逃路后迅速歼灭武装团伙，成功解救了人质。(After sealing off the escape routes, the special forces quickly wiped out the armed gang and successfully rescued the hostages.)

피해야 할 표현

• 歼灭 is a serious military term implying total destruction. In civilian contexts, do not use it to describe ordinary competition or defeating rivals — use 淘汰 (to eliminate in a competition) or 击败 (to defeat). 歼灭 always carries a martial and terminal connotation.
