"Second place is the first loser" nghĩa là gì?

"Second place is the first loser" = về nhì nghĩa là thua cuộc -> nghĩa là trong thể thao, xếp vị trí thứ 2 chính là bạn đã không phải người dành được chiến thắng sau cùng. Câu nói phổ biển bởi tay đua xe Dale Earnhardt (1951–2001).

Ví dụ
"We are the first losers maybe, but I am quite happy with our second place in the WorldTour and our 47 wins," Denk tells Procycling.

As far as the “error” on the part of Chase, I almost believe he didn’t care if he wrecked both himself and Logano to avoid the dreaded second-place finish. After all, “second is the first loser.”

In the end I was awarded second place, with Pecoy and Pastrana both receiving penalties. Second may be the first loser, but I for sure felt pretty good about my performance here. No surprise that I'm at my best when the grip (phanh) is lowest.

Of course, that doesn't mean families can't embrace or promote a competitive spirit (tinh thần cạnh tranh) — whether it applies to grades or sports or lockdown Monopoly. But there's a continuum from a healthy approach to an unhealthy one, Capanna-Hodge warns. "At one end is a family who pushes their child to win and be the best and tells them, 'second place is only the first loser,'" she says.
