How it's used

This term is often used in formal or serious contexts to discuss the outcome of a project, a strategy, or a life decision. While it literally combines success and failure, it functions as a single noun phrase representing the overall result or the stakes involved. It carries a slightly heavier, more reflective tone than simply saying 成功定失敗.

Common mistake
