a run for the money這個(gè)習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)廣泛應(yīng)用在競(jìng)選，體育比賽和商貿(mào)事務(wù)上,用來(lái)說(shuō)在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中自己盡力而為,使得對(duì)方也拼命以取得盡可能好的,令人滿(mǎn)意的結(jié)果。
【例句】
That other team is tough - after all they were the champions last year. But our guys are ready, and I tell you,win or lose we’ll give those guys a real run for their money.
對(duì)方是個(gè)強(qiáng)隊(duì) - 他們畢竟是去年的冠軍隊(duì)。但是我們的隊(duì)員們作好了準(zhǔn)備。告訴你們吧,不論勝敗,我們都會(huì)全力以赴,非讓對(duì)方盡力而為才行。
I'm determined to give him a run for his money next time. He's going to be surprised by how competitive I am.
