許多美國人冬天一到就注射流感疫苗，也就是在流感病毒襲擊之前他們就作了預防，所以they are ahead of the game。下面是一個大學生在介紹他學習成功的經驗。
例句-1：this semester i'll be taking a full course load and holding down a part-time job. with such a busy schedule, i plan on buying my books before classes begin and reading as much as i can. that way i'll be ahead of the game, at least for a while.
這個大學生說：這個學期，我要選滿課程，還要打半工，我會非常忙。所以我打算在開學前就把課本買好，盡量多看一些。這樣我就會走在前頭，至少在一段時間里可以如此。
