  Tips=[1]= 우리는 " 마감시간을 지키다. ........ = meet the deadline

                                  " 마감시간을 넘기다". .......= miss(pass) the deadline

                                  "마감시간 보다 미리마치다'. = beat the deadline 이다.

                                  beat는 "물리치다/승리하다"뜻이고,

                                  deadline을 물리첫다/승리했다라고 생각하면

                                  beat the deadline 을 더 쉽게 기억하고 많이 활용할수 있을 것이다.
