Upstage
抢风头
一个多月前宣布就金球奖评选与国际足联分道扬镳的《法国足球》杂志周一公布了2016年度该奖项的30人候选名单,曾五度当选的梅西和三度得主C罗双双入围。请看本报昨日的报道:
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are set to resume their annual battle for the Ballon d'Or after both were named in the list of 30 nominees for the 2016 award Monday.
France Football, the magazine that founded most prestigious individual honor in soccer, released the list in which Real Madrid man Ronaldo, 31, and Barcelona's Messi, 29, both featured.
Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi again shone as Barca won the 2015-16 La Liga title, but the Argentina international could be upstaged this year by Ronaldo, who is favored to claim the prize for a fourth time.
报道中的upstage作为动词是“抢风头”,作名词是“舞台正后方”。例如:
When you give a speech, make sure your hands do not upstage your ideas.
演讲时不要让过多的手势分散了听众的注意力,令他们无暇关注你表达的思想。
