如何表達競爭,可以用“compete”這個動詞,意思是“競賽; 競爭”,“比得上, 媲美”,如:
Who could compete in the Olympics? 什么樣人可以參加奧運會?
These products are of high quality and able to compete internationally. 這些產(chǎn)品品質很好, 在國際市場上有競爭能力。
那么,想表達與某人,或某個競爭對手競爭,或比得上競爭對手時,可以在“compete”后面加一個介詞“with/against”,然后在“with/against”后面加上競爭對手就可以了:
We can’t compete against our overseas competitors.
我們工廠競爭不過海外的對手。
The firm is too small to compete against large ones.
這家公司太小,不能與大公司抗衡。
You cannot compete with those postgraduates.
你無法和那些研究生競爭。
My handwriting cannot compete with his.
我的書法不及他。
We can compete with the best teams.
我們能與最好的團隊競爭。
順便提一句, “compete”的名詞形式是”competition”, 當我們形容競爭很激烈時,可以這樣來說: The competition is rather intense. 這場競爭相當激烈.
