You're head and shoulders above the others .
對(duì)話
Walter: That's the fifth race in a row that you've won. You're by far our best driver.
Ryan: Well I think my results are a bit flattering because I've had quite a lot of luck and our car is always so reliable.
Walter: Nonsense, you're head and shoulders above the others in your division.
Ryan: Do you really think so?
Walter: Absolutely. So much so that we're thinking of entering you in the next division for the new season.
Ryan: That means a more powerful car and longer races. It'll be a lot tougher.
華爾特：這是你連續(xù)第五次賽車獲勝。你絕對(duì)是我們最出色的賽車手。
賴安：我想，我的成績(jī)還不錯(cuò)是因?yàn)檫\(yùn)氣實(shí)在很好，而且我們的車子也十分可靠。
華爾特：當(dāng)然不是。你根本遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)勝過(guò)其它同級(jí)的賽車手。
賴安：你真的這么想？
華爾特：一點(diǎn)也沒錯(cuò)，所以我們準(zhǔn)備下個(gè)賽車季推舉你參加高一級(jí)的比賽。
賴安：那么，就要有一輛更強(qiáng)力的車子，賽程也會(huì)遠(yuǎn)一些。奪冠也會(huì)困難得多。
華爾特稱贊賴安：You're by far our best driver。又說(shuō)：You're head and shoulders above the others。這兩句用了兩個(gè)成語(yǔ)。By far是加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣用語(yǔ)，有‘遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)’的意思，而既說(shuō)‘超過(guò)’，自然有比較含義，所以，習(xí)慣用來(lái)修飾比較級(jí)(comparative)或級(jí)(superlative)詞語(yǔ)，例如：(1) Compared with WM Thackeray, Charles Dickens was by far the more prolific writer（和撒克里比較，狄更斯無(wú)疑是個(gè)多產(chǎn)的作家）。(2) She was by far the most beautiful girl the prince had ever seen（她比王子過(guò)去見過(guò)的女郎還美麗得多）。此外還有far and away－詞，和by far同義，例如以上兩句都可改用far and away。Be/Stand head and shoulders above somebody/something 取‘別人都不及你肩膀’含義，引申解作‘遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)勝過(guò)其它人/物’，例如：His performance is head and shoulders above（或head and shoulders better than) that of his colleagues（他的工作表現(xiàn)，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)勝過(guò)他的同事）。最后要說(shuō)華爾特So much so that we're thinking of entering you in the next division這一句。So much so that是常用語(yǔ)，有‘（上述事情）程度之高，以至..........’含義，例如：She enjoyed herself heartily at the party, so much so that she forgot her promise to get home by 11:00pm（她在派對(duì)上玩得十分開心，連‘晚上十一點(diǎn)前回家’的承諾都忘記了）。華爾特那一句，是說(shuō)對(duì)賴安期許甚高，高得有意要他參加高一級(jí)的比賽。
