Sy Zhang asks:
"What does the term "leverage advantage" mean? Would you please complement the question with examples on its usage?"
My comments:
Thank you, Sy, for raising an interesting question. It would've been better, though, if you had complemented the question with a usage example of your own. That way, I'd know you were looking for answers by yourself instead of trying to leaving the whole thing, lock, stock and barrel, to me.
But that's neither here nor there now. So, let's get busy.
Leverage advantage is an advantage secured from using a lever.
The lever is the thing that the Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes wanted to use to move the earth. Educated Chinese readers may not know how to use the word "lever" or "fulcrum" in English, but they all know this Archimedes quote: "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."
Hence, by extension, leverage advantage comes to mean any efficiency gained from utilizing tools, skills, expertise or experience.
Leverage, both as a noun and a verb, is most useful today in the financial world. An American English term by and large, popularized by rampant capitalism and money-making, leverage refers to the use of various financial tools to achieve greater efficiency in cashing in on one's investment, i.e. making more money on less investment.
