I came across one sentence I don't know how to translate well into Chinese. I have difficulty understanding and parsing it. It's:
---------
Because he knew how to sell, he could sell circles around people like me, even though he was working half the time or less.
---------
It's a sentence from the book "The Psychology of Selling". I don't quite understand "he could sell circles around people like me". How to parse the sentence? And is "circles" here an object or adverb?
Bow,
Calli.
