第7屆亞洲乒乓球錦標賽昨天（8月28日）爆出特大冷門，世界冠軍中國女隊在女團半決賽中2-3不敵東道主韓國隊，無緣決賽，遭到了自1990年亞錦賽以來最慘痛的失利。 請看報道：
Unseeded South Korea ruled out aclean sweepof China at the 17th Asian championships as they surprisingly rallied past the table tennis giants 3-2 in front of no more than a hundred local fans here on Sunday to reach the women's team final.
It will be the first time in 13 years for China to miss the women's team final at the biyearly Asian tournament, but hopes kept alive for Chinese to lift the trophy as Hong Kong of China made a final berth with 3-0 win over Japan in the other semi-finalclash.
句中的"clean sweep"意思是"徹底勝利"。此處的"clean" means complete。如：The USA made a clean sweep of (= won) all the men's events.（美國隊包攬了所有男子項目的冠軍。）又如：The new prime minister is expected to make a clean sweep of the government (= change all the members of it). (人們期望新首相對政府進行徹底改組。)
