outstrip, 胜出,别...快,强

Sixth, complexity got the better of us. The industry let the growth in new instruments outstrip the operational capacity to manage them.

 

 

1

to do something better than someone else or be more successful

We outstripped all our competitors in sales last year.

2

to be greater in quantity than something else

Demand for new aircraft production is outstripping supply.

3

to run or move faster than someone or something else

Speeding at 90 mph, Denny outstripped police cars for an hour.
