“高人一等”,英语怎么翻译才地道呢?

看看《阿Q正传》是怎么翻译“高人一等”的。
Although Ah Q was always gaining victories, it was only after he was favoured with a slap on the face by Mr. Chao that he became famous.
After paying the bailiff two hundred cash he lay down angrily. Later he said to himself, "What is the world coming to nowadays, with sons beating their parents…" Then the thought of the prestige of Mr. Chao, who was now his son, gradually raised his spirits, and he got up and went to the wine shop singing The Young Widow at Her Husband's Grave. At that time he did feel that Mr. Chao was a cut above most people.
请大家注意最后一句话,
“这时候,他又觉得赵太爷高人一等了。” 翻译:
At that time he did feel that Mr. Chao was a cut above most people.


查询字典:
a cut above sb / sth
   better than sb / sth
   优于;比…高一等;胜…一筹:
   His latest novel is acut above the rest.
   他最近出版的小说比其他的小说都好。

be a cut above sth,to be much better than someone else or something else
• 优于…,比…高出一筹:
»The movie is a cut above recent thrillers.
这部影片比最近拍的惊险片要好得多。
»He proved himself to be a cut above the rest .
他证明了自己比别人要优秀得多。

当然,还有更多的表达:

飞来飞去,完美、高人一等      
Flying around, so perfect and superior.
         
我们都是人类,没有人是高人一等的 。      
We're all human beings, no one is superior.

我一直知道这种高人一等的感觉      
I've always been aware of this feeling of superiority.

和平同霸权与高人一等的理论是不相容的。      
Peace is incompatible with the doctrines of hegemony and superiority.

我觉得奥斯汀小姐 您认为自己高人一等      
I think that you, Miss Austen, consider yourself a cut above the company.
