(单词翻译:双击或拖选)
核心句型:
Our team managed to get the upper hand in the end.
我们组最终占了上风。
get the upper hand源自过去人们一项娱乐活动,掰手腕。比赛过程中,双方面对面分别把一只手放在桌子上,彼此紧握,用力把对方的手腕压倒在桌面上,获胜一方的手自然是在对方手腕之上的,所以这个习语的意思就是:“占上风”。因此,当美国人说"Our team managed to get upper hand in the end."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"Our team managed to predominate."、"Our team managed to gain the advantages."。
情景对白:
