amorous というのは、この場合、「恋愛の」とか「色事の」 という感じですね。stakesは、競馬なんかでもステークスといいますが、 ここでは競争とか競い合いと訳せばいいんじゃないでしょうか。 全文を訳すと、次のようになります。 サイモンは、お金を稼ぐという真面目な仕事において、グループの 先頭に立っていただけでなく、恋愛という分野での競争でも彼らを 負かしていた。

    I live with my long-term boyfriend in my house. I make significantly more money than him and am also far more conservative on finances; I pay all my bills and put 15 percent of every check into savings before I make any “want” purchases. When my boyfriend moved in, we discussed and agreed that he would take over a few bills but concentrate on getting his savings built up. It has been three months, and he hasn’t saved a penny. Instead, he is blowing his money on video games, trips, and expensive hobbies. He also has been short on bills, and I have to cover them, but it is never more than $20 or $50, and he pays me back. Our last huge fight was when he leased a brand-new truck even though he has a perfectly running, paid-off older Honda. He said I was trying to control him and that I wasn’t his mother. I yelled that I might as well be, since he was acting like a teenager and living rent free under my roof. 1　getting his savings built upですが、having something built upという形はよくみるのでうすが、そのようにも言えるでしょうか？違いはあるでしょうか？あと、getting his savings to build upは言えるでしょうか？ 2　short on billsは「紙幣が不足している？？」short on moneyと同意でしょうか？ 3　I yelled that I might as well beの訳を教えてください。 以上、よろしくお願いします

    But what about Stockton? How is he doing? Well, his chances of becoming a detector dog look very good. He is progressing faster than some of the other dogs at the training center. He also seems to have the right kind of nature and character since he is a meek, or gentle,dog. Heldt explains why the beagle may be doing so well:　“His demeanor is really meek; he just rolls along kind of like a tortoise.” According to Heldt, Stockton is also good at his job because he is so calm and he likes what he is doing. “Nothing fazes him,”says Heldt,　“He loves working. It's a game to him, which is really important.” As stockton finishes a training exercise in which he has performed particularky well, Heldt picks stockton up into his arms and continues to encourage him. “Good job! Good job, very good!”he says as he rubs the dog's head and smiles. When the two partners are working together, it is easy to see that it is not only stockton who loves his work！ 訳してみてもあまりうまく訳せなかったのでよろしくお願いします。
