  Subject:I get ahead of the game by finishing my work early.
迷你对话
A: Benjamin, you have been promoted several times these years. Do you have any secret?
Benjamin, 这几年你已经多次晋升,有什秘诀吗?
B: Oh, to be frank, I always get ahead of the game by finishing my work early.
哦,说实话,我总是因提前完成任务而领先他人。
地道表达
ahead of the game
1. 解词释义
老美喜爱比赛,很有竞争意识。当他们大败对方时,他们会欢呼雀跃,兴奋不已。 ahead of game的字面意思是“在比赛中领先”,引申为“领先,居于优势”“处于有利地位,由于赢家地位”。在其后加上介词by,即为:ahead of game,表示“通过做某事而领先与他人,居于优势”, game在这里表示“竞争”。ahead of the game之前可以用不同的动词,比如to stay ahead of the game,或者是to keep someone ahead of the game,get ahead of the game。
2. 拓展例句
e.g. Let's get out of the stock market while we are still ahead of the game.
趁我们现在还赚钱赶快从股票市场撤退。
e.g. The time you spend in your training will put you ahead of the game in the match.
你现在花在训练上的功夫会使你在比赛中超出众人。
e.g. This semester I'll be taking a full course load and holding down a part-time job. With such a busy schedule, I plan on buying my books before classes begin and reading as much as I can. That way I'll be ahead of the game, at least for a while.
这个学期, 我要选满课程,还要打半工,我会非常忙。所以我打算在开学前就把课本买好,尽量多看一些。这样我就会走在前头, 至少在一段时间里可以如此。
Ps:to be frank的意思是“坦诚地说,老实说”。例如:
To be frank, this mission is beyond my might.
说实话,这一使命非我能力所及。
To be frank, I had not expected such gorgeous creations.
说老实话,我没想到能看到这么漂亮的时装。
