What if your kids are geniuses and they can beat you on every single aspect of your life? Sounds like a disaster or a blessing, I don’t know but I do know this lovely couple in the show “Outmatched”have plenty of experiences. 家长们通常都希望自己的孩子聪明伶俐，可要是自己的孩子都是天才，而且在生活的各个方面都碾压自己，作为父母又会怎么应对呢？新开播的情景喜剧 “Outmatched“ 也许能告诉我们答案。A son that studies quantum physics at age of 15, a daughter who’s capable of speaking 8 languages and their little brother who can beat any chess masters around. 这样的神仙组合不是所有的父母都能搞得定的。于是一幕幕搞笑，温情的家庭场景轮番上演。学到big words 的同时，也能开怀大笑呢。
在英文中，常用out加动词过去分词组成的形容词来表示被超越或被打败的意思。For example, outrun, outnumbered, outgunned, outsmart, 所以咱们这些平常人才会经常问自己“Which aspect was I out today?”.
Seeing is believing! 咱们来看看在文末的预告片中都有哪些有趣有用的表达法吧。
