To win hands down: to win something easily or decisively輕易獲勝，贏得決定性的勝利。(也可以說to beat someone hands down)

Examples:

  • We were unprepared for our last game, and the other team won hands down.
  • The Palace Hotel wins hands down for both comfort and location.
  • He said he would beat me hands down. He didn’t.
