北京时间今天早上的一则新闻:

Nov 1 (Reuters) - Wall Street’s main indexes notched record closing highs on Monday as Tesla shares surged and the energy sector gained while investors looked ahead to a major Federal Reserve meeting later in the week.

eclipse? #

eclipse 作动词除了天文上「遮住⋯⋯的光」即「食」(日食、月食)的意思、比较文学性的「使⋯⋯黯淡无光/黯然失色」的意思之外,还可以如引用所指,在商务英语中,表示在数量上或级别上「超过、高过」的意思。

下引剑桥词典:

to become greater in amount or level than something else:

The increased consumer spending from new businesses has already helped shopping, dining, and real estate eclipse oil revenues.

Their stock is up 50% so far this year, as their profit growth is expected to eclipse that of larger companies.
