今天我们学习一个短语：upstage sb.

可以用来表示“抢某个人的风头，把某个人身上的注意力都抢到自己身上来，让大家都来关注自己”；

我们来看看upstage当动词用的英文解释：

to take people's attention away from someone and make them listen to or look at you instead

eg: She was furious at being upstaged by her younger sister.

她的风头被她妹妹抢了，她气得要死。

eg: He had a younger brother who always publicly upstaged him.

他有一个弟弟，总是会在公众场合抢哥哥的风头。

eg: He upstages her by flirting with other women.

他通过跟别的女人打情骂俏，成功地把大家的注意力都吸引到自己身上来了。

eg: We don't want the flower girl upstaging the bride.

我们不想让那个女花童抢走了新娘子的风头。

然后呢，你会发现这里upstage的宾语用something也一样可以充当。

eg: My apple pie was upstaged by her chocolate cake.

我的苹果派被她的巧克力蛋糕抢了风头。
