Catherine上班好幾個(gè)月了，她與公司的經(jīng)理成了無話不談的好朋友。當(dāng)別人問她成功的秘訣時(shí)，她總是說一句：I got ahead of the game by finishing my work early.我因提早完成工作而領(lǐng)先他人。因?yàn)檫@是她跟一個(gè)外教新學(xué)的短語。

Catherine: Do you know what I mean?
凱瑟琳：你知道我的意思嗎？

Tom: Not quitely. You said "game", I can't see why it has anything to do with your work.
湯姆：不太明白。你說到“游戲”，但我看不出它和你的工作有何關(guān)系。

Catherine: "Game" can be used in every field, especially when talking about one's work.
凱瑟琳：game這個(gè)詞可以被用在任何領(lǐng)域，尤其是談?wù)摰饺说墓ぷ鲿r(shí)。


I got ahead of the game by finishing my work early.我因提早完成工作而領(lǐng)先他人。

game這個(gè)詞通常指的是比賽，ahead of the game就是“在比賽中領(lǐng)先”的意思，不過這種意識(shí)已被應(yīng)用到生活的各個(gè)領(lǐng)域，不僅僅單指比賽了。所以當(dāng)某人在某件事上領(lǐng)先時(shí)，都可以說那個(gè)人get ahead of the game。如果要進(jìn)一步說明是如何領(lǐng)先的，通過什么樣的方式領(lǐng)先的，則要在后面用介詞by。例如：I got ahead of the game by finishing my work early.我因提早完成工作而領(lǐng)先他人。

【英語情景劇】

Shirley：Benjamin, you have been promoted several times these years. Do you have any secret?
雪莉：本杰明，這幾年你已經(jīng)多次晉升。有什么秘訣嗎？

Benjamin：Oh，to be frank, I always get ahead of the game by finishing my work early.
本杰明：哦，說實(shí)話，我總是因提前完成任務(wù)而領(lǐng)先他人。
