English term or phrase: out in front
"XX is out in front, ahead of the rest."

Chinese idiom would be easier at this point:o)

Normally pretty good at these things, but here I have a problem as the Norwegian sentece to me would be something like :

"XXX ligger/er foran, foran alle de andre" Hvilket vil si en fordobling av mening... Noen som har bedre forslag?

Explanation:
"XX tok raskt ledelsen..." skulle vel passe bra? Du varierer iallefall språket noe mer.

agree  Per Bergvall: Når man er i ledelsen, er man også foran alle de andre. Det burde være unødvendig å gjenta dette - men oversetterens oppgave er å gjengi kildeteksten så trofast som mulig. Selv om det høres litt dustete ut...

neutral  Per Bergvall: Når Kudoz-reglene sier ett begrep per spørsmål, tror jeg vi kan tolke det som også ett begrep per svar. Seks alternative forslag betyr egentlig at du har ingen peiling, og da er confidence level satt unødig høyt.
