Only the Best Are on the Cutting Edge

Only the Best Are on the ‘Cutting Edge’

Now ,the VOA Learning English program Words and Their Stories
For today’s program , we go into the kitken!
There is a good chance you do not go one day without using a knife . It is an important tool when cooking ,and without it,you could not make many dishes. This brings to mind a story -a true story.
Years ago,a friends and I were making a dinner together at my place . she had the job cutting up vegettable for soup. Haltway through cutting thte onion, she said that my knife was not shap and would not cut, I was surpried. I had given her my best knife, But when I look over at her,I had to smile . Actually,I did not more than smile I laughed out loud ."it might work better if you user the cutting edge of the knife,"I joked.
Let’s just say , my friend did not spend a lot of time in the kitchen. She ate out a lot.In this example, the cutting edge is the sharp edge of a knife. but we use it to mean sonething much more. The cutting adge is the newest and most modern part of any industry ,Ideas,technology – whatever you user in your job --call be cutting edge.
Whatever business or industry you work in , it feels good be leadher in it.
When you know the newest tools or to job,you can say are “on the edge you job” or that you ate simply “cutting- edage”.
For example ,teachers on the cutting edge of edution user the latest technology and ideas in the classroom . Cutting -edge,archiects know the latest materials,tools and designs to use in the structures the build. Some if the best doctors use cutting-edge technology to treat diseases. All industries have their own cutting edge. we have other words to help descibe this idea of “cutting -edge”.For example, people who on the cutting edge of their industry are on the forefront of line. Their the vangaurd is the group of people who are the leaders of a movement in society ,politics,or in a given industry.
We usually use “vanguard” in the singular form and in a prepositinal phrase. So you can be at the vanguard of a social or political movement . You can alse be in the vanguard of a movement.This expression comes from a military term .In battle,the vanguard are the solders,other personnel or a social or politics movement .You can also be in the vanguard of amovement. This expression comes from a military term. I battale,the vanguard ate the soliders , other personnel or equipment that at the front of a fighting force. Pepole on the cutting edge,or in the vanguard, are blazing a trail. When you blaze a trail in the woods,you make a trail for others to follow.You do this by cutting down plants that may be in your way.You can also mark trees with a cut,also called a blaze.
Blazing a trail is difficult job.But it makes it much easier for people wakling behind you The same can be said for life.Trail-blazer,people in the cutting edge or in the vanguard are not stisfied with the status quo-- the way things have aways been done. They are always looking for a new , better or faster way to do something.So people on the cutting edge use the latest tools and ideas to be on the forefront their yield. They are the vanguard and blaze trails for others to follow.
