And me, Beth. We have an unusual verb which is all about saying you have done something better or more impressive than someone else. And the verb is 'to one-up'.?

動(dòng)詞 “one-up” 的意思是 “在做某件事情上勝人一籌，占上風(fēng)”。Beth，能給我們講講這個(gè)詞的具體用法嗎？?
Beth
Well, you like singing, don't you, Jiaying? Have you ever sung in front of an audience??
Jiaying
I have! I sang at my friend's wedding. There were about 100 people.?
Beth
Wow! That is actually quite impressive. But I can one-up you. I sang on a stage last year in front of 1,000 people.?
Jiaying
OK. That is a lot. But I can one-up you on something else. 我可以在另一件事情上勝你一籌：我去年跑完了一場(chǎng)半程馬拉松。?
Beth
Hmm. Impressive, but I can one-up you. I ran a full marathon last week. Let's hear some more examples.?
Examples
Mike is always trying to one-up me. He's such a show off!?
The striker one-upped the goalkeeper with that last penalty.
They were trying to one-up each other over who could cook best.

你正在收聽的是 BBC英語教學(xué)的 “地道英語” 節(jié)目。以上我們講解了動(dòng)詞 “one-up” 的含義和用法，它常用于非正式場(chǎng)合，表示 “在做某件事情上勝人一籌，占上風(fēng)”。?
Beth
It's often used in a jokey way if someone is showing off, acting as though they are better than you, and is frequently followed by a person, like 'you' or 'the goalkeeper'. And it can be used in a range of tenses, like the continuous 'one-upping', and the past simple 'one-upped'.
Jiaying
是的，人們常用 “one-up” 來向他人炫耀 “在一件事情上比他人表現(xiàn)得更好”，帶有調(diào)侃的意味。“One-up” 的后面常直接加表示人的詞語。比如，“you（你）” 或前面例句中的 “goalkeeper（守門員）”。記?。骸?span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">one-up” 的 -ing 形式是 “one-upping”，過去式是 “one-upped”。?
Beth
I one-upped you in the race last week.?
Jiaying
Ah, yes. You did! I'll one-up you on something else soon. See you next time!
Beth
Bye.
