在关键时刻保持领先
curve是指赛车时的弯道，弯道处是比赛的一个关键环节，技术好的选手可在这里拉大领先的距离，而对稍微落后的选手而言，弯道也是他们赶超前面选手的一个重要机会。
因此不妨将stay ahead of the curve译为“在关键时刻保持领先”。如果有更多的上下文，比如知道这家公司是在技术上领先，那么还可以翻译为：在”技术弯道处”保持领先；如果这家公司是在销售业绩上领先，也可以翻译为：在“销售弯道处”保持领先。

Clearwater, curve 也有弯道的意思啊。请看下面的例子：
It doesn't just simulate the car; it simulates the racing driver, too. ... so in theory, the best driver should always stay ahead of the curve. ...

另外，如果你觉得是曲线，那么是什么曲线呢？销售曲线吗？
我感觉这个短语最初可能就是用于赛车，但现在被广泛应用于各种普遍意义的竞争中了。
