"On a wing and a prayer" = Trên một cánh và một lời cầu nguyện -> Rất ít hy vọng/cơ hội để thành công vì thật sự không chuẩn bị nhiều cho mọi việc và có thể hiểu chỉ bay lên bằng niềm tin thôi.

Finally, champion the need to fine-tune the disciplines of digital transformation. During WWI, flying was more an art form than disciplined execution. Early pilots quite literally flew on a wing and a prayer.

Metaphorically (một cách ẩn ý) speaking, your inflation cow is expected to give birth every two months! Holy cow! (no pun intended). We are on a wing and a prayer. We do not know the month-on-month figures for July—but a higher figure is expected. The farmer’s definition of hyperinflation (siêu lạm phát) is when the cow called inflation gives birth every month — this is umhlolo or mashura. There has been a heavy bout of price increases in fuel, government fees and food prices following the announcement of the supplementary budget.
