Catherine上班好几个月了,她与公司的经理成了无话不谈的好朋友。当别人问她成功的秘诀时,她总是说一句:I got ahead of the game by finishing my work early.我因提早完成工作而领先他人。因为这是她跟一个外教新学的短语。


Catherine: Do you know what I mean?

凯瑟琳:你知道我的意思吗?


Tom: Not quitely. You said "game", I can't see why it has anything to do with your work.

汤姆:不太明白。你说到“游戏”,但我看不出它和你的工作有何关系。


Catherine: "Game" can be used in every field, especially when talking about one's work.

凯瑟琳:game这个词可以被用在任何领域,尤其是谈论到人的工作时。




I got ahead of the game by finishing my work early.我因提早完成工作而领先他人。


game这个词通常指的是比赛,ahead of the game就是“在比赛中领先”的意思,不过这种意识已被应用到生活的各个领域,不仅仅单指比赛了。所以当某人在某件事上领先时,都可以说那个人get ahead of the game。如果要进一步说明是如何领先的,通过什么样的方式领先的,则要在后面用介词by。例如:I got ahead of the game by finishing my work early.我因提早完成工作而领先他人。


【英语情景剧】

Benjamin:Oh,to be frank 1, I always get ahead of the game by finishing my work early.

本杰明:哦,说实话,我总是因提前完成任务而领先他人。
