"Not to be in the same street as" nghĩa là gì?

'Not to be in the same street as' nghĩa là kém tài ai, không so được với ai (to be completely different, usually worse, in quality than).

He ran well. He is in the same street as them, he just came up a bit short today. He needs a good gallop. It was a bit tough, the opposition, but he ran well. There is the race at Goodwood, the Lennox, but he is not bad over six and you can play around. You have a flirtation with these sort of races, but you can always drop him down a cog and win with him. Maybe he is just short of the best, but he is not bad.
