什麼叫 You have outdone yourself 呢?
這要先從動詞 outdo 開始解釋
它的意思是 ”表現勝過...”
所以 You have outdone yourself 是現在完成式的用法
字面上的意思是 ”你(已經)勝過了你自己”
用在一個人平時表現就很好, 但又做了件更棒的事
比如你的朋友平常就很會做菜, 但他又做了一道比他/她平常做的還要好吃的菜
就可以稱讚他/她說: (I believe) You have outdone yourself (again)!
意思是他/她又更上一層樓了
不過這句話也可以用來諷刺別人
如果一個人平常表現就不好, 常犯錯或把事情搞砸
結果又再次出包(出錯)
也可以對他/她說 You have outdone yourself.
意思就是他/她又捅了個更大的簍子啦~

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.
