Examples from texts

It moves eastward against the stars and does not rise out of the dawn quite as quickly as they do. Earth, orbiting faster than Mars, begins to overtake it, and Mars's apparent eastward motion slows and stops.
Er bewegt sich ostwärts gegen die Sterne und geht nicht so schnell in der Dämmerung auf wie sie. Die Erde, schneller als Mars, setzt zum Überholen an, und die scheinbare Ostbewegung des Mars verlangsamt sich und stoppt.

The value-added services business now accounts for 18% of sales, largely due to increased photovoltaic activities, and has thus overtaken the water division (11 %).
Vor allem der Ausbau der Photovoltaik hat dazu beigetragen, dass das Dienstleistungsgeschäft mittlerweile einen Umsatzanteil von 18% erreicht und damit die Wassersparte (11 %) überholt hat.
As it happened, the reason I had rather overcasually overtaken on the inside lane was that I am very used to driving in the United States where everybody routinely exercises their constitutional right to drive in whatever damn lane they please.
Übrigens hatte ich nur deshalb allzu lässig auf der Innenfahrbahn überholt, weil ich völlig ans Autofahren in den USA gewöhnt bin, wo alle von ihrem verfassungsmäßigen Recht Gebrauch machen, ganz nach Belieben auf jeder verdammten Fahrspur zu fahren.
