far from won

「勝利にはほど遠い」。

far fromは、「〜からほど遠い、〜することはない」。winを受け身のwonにして、「勝利されるにはほど遠い」という意味で使われています。

本日のBBCの記事、'Election 2010: Brown 'to dig deeper' after TV debates'から。

'Gordon Brown has said he has to "try harder" and "dig deeper" as party leaders return to the campaign trail after the final TV debate. The PM, who snap polls suggested was seen to come third in the debate, said the TV clashes were over and decision time for voters was beginning. Tory leader David Cameron said the election was "far from won"'.
