00 In a badminton game, when one player is injured or something, he or she will be retired, and sometimes walkover. These two ideas are very close, and it didn't help me much after I looked both words up in a dictionary. So, I wonder if they convey the same idea to you or not. Thanks for your viewpoints in advance. 0-
