To outperform someone or something is to be more successful — to get a better result than they do. Sport can use it, but the word really lives in business, school reports, and money talk.

To outperform someone or somethingOutperform 某人或某事 is to be more successful是指表現得更成功——to get a better result than they do得到比對方更好的結果。Sport can use it運動場合也可以用這個字，but the word really lives in business, school reports, and money talk但它真正常出現的地方是商業、成績單和財經話題。

A stock that outperforms the market made more money than the average. A student who outperforms the class did better on the test. People stretch it: a phone can outperform another phone, a plan can outperform another plan.

A stock that outperforms the market表現 outperform 大盤的股票，made more money than the average賺的錢比平均值多。A student who outperforms the classoutperform 全班的學生，did better on the test考試考得比較好。People stretch it人們也會把這個字用得更廣：a phone can outperform another phone一支手機可以 outperform 另一支手機，a plan can outperform another plan一個方案可以 outperform 另一個方案。

Underneath, it still means the result was better, not that someone tried harder. Trying harder and still losing is not outperforming.

Underneath骨子裡，it still means the result was better它講的還是結果比較好，not that someone tried harder不是有人比較努力。Trying harder and still losing更努力卻還是輸了 is not outperforming不算是 outperforming。

It is a cool, slightly formal word. You would not usually tell a friend, “I outperformed you at dinner.”

It is a cool, slightly formal word這是個聽起來很酷、有點正式的字。You would not usually tell a friend你通常不會跟朋友說，'I outperformed you at dinner.'「我在晚餐時 outperformed 你」。
