Title and championship both mean 'champion', often interchangeable, as in 'win the title'. Title is the abstract honor of being champion, paired with verbs like hold, defend, and win. Championship extends to mean the competition itself, in team sports. Title's other senses are not compared.

这两个词在“冠军”这一意义上很接近，常可以互换使用，例如win the title和win the championship都表示“夺冠”；但title侧重指“成为冠军”这一抽象荣誉称号，可用于棋类、拳击等个人项目，常与hold、defend、win搭配；championship除了指冠军称号外，还常常引申指整个比赛或锦标赛本身。这里不比较title表示“书名”“标题”“头衔（职位）”等其他义项。
