- 1以技術勝過(對手)
To outplay someone is to beat them in a game by playing with more skill than they do — better choices, cleaner moves, not just luck and not just a bigger body. Football, basketball, chess, and video-game commentators all love it. “They were outplayed in the second half” means the other side was simply better on the field, even if the score stayed close. You can outplay a stronger team on the day.
