"Have the wood on (someone or something)" -> nghĩa là có lợi thế trước ai/cái gì.

Ví dụ
A furious Craig Bellamy admitted the Canberra Raiders ‘have the wood’ on his Melbourne Storm and accused his players selfishness (sự ích kỷ) following Saturday’s 22-6 home loss.

China is armed to the teeth and happy for everyone to know it. At this stage, the Americans have the wood on them in space but the Chinese will work furiously to develop their own space technology — or steal America’s. The Chinese have gained a huge amount of Western technology by theft, and they seem proud of it. They have no scruples (số lượng rất ít, đắn đo, cân nhắc).

We’re gambling on whether one of David Harrison’s stable stars handles the conditions because all things equal Jericho Missile should have the wood on these. Take out his two failures in the Karrakatta Plate and Kingston Town Classic and the form looks dominant against winter animals, while his three-year-old status means he gets in beautifully at the weights. Jericho Missile trialled well on a soft track late last month and usually it’s a fair call to assume runners will handle it wet until shown otherwise. The booking of regular rider Paul Harvey says a forward showing is expected and they draw for options in the middle of the line. Now just win! BET: WIN
