"Come/be a poor second/third..." nghĩa là về thứ 2, xếp sau người đứng nhất một cách đáng tiếc.
Ví dụ
Sports programs were the most readily sold to advertisers (nhà quảng cáo), according to half of these respondents; news was a poor second, and a variety of other types were mentioned by six percent or less.
Worldwide ecological consequences (hệ quả sinh thái) come a poor second. The survival of indigenous (bản địa) peoples in this polluted and socially disrupted environment is often not even mentioned in the rare press articles on the area.
You often hear people saying they need to make time for these, as if relaxation, recreation (giải trí) and reflection (suy ngẫm) come a poor second to the job. The danger is that if you live to work, quality of life becomes a spinoff (lợi ích) rather than a goal.
The words take little or no notice of the pictures they were meant to accompany; the style is heavy, as written for the printed page and, most likely, the reader will come a poor second in the oral sprint (chạy nước rút) to finish the commentary before the tape runs out.
