這是源自賭馬的一句話
to give someone a run for his money本來是指一個人既然下了注，就要好好地跑一場給他看
現在是指一個人會盡全力去比賽，使對手沒有那麼容易贏的意思
注意後面的所有格要跟著前面的someone變動

I’m an American English teacher in Taiwan who works almost exclusively with adults.
I don’t teach tests, textbooks, or children.
My classes focus on speaking, pronunciation, and natural conversation, with real correction — not just chatting.
Classes are 100% in English (this actually helps speaking more than people expect).
I’m opening a few new conversation slots right now.
If you’re an adult who wants to actually speak better, feel free to comment or message me.
