"Beat someone to within an inch of someone's life" = đánh ai đó đến nỗi chỉ còn một chút sự sống -> cụm từ này nghĩa là đánh ai đó thừa sống thiếu chết.
Ví dụ
Late one night, Casey ventures (mạo hiểm) out to buy dog food — and on the way home he’s assaulted (bị tấn công) by a gang (một đám, lũ, bọn) of motorcycle-riding thugs (kẻ tội phạm, côn đồ hung dữ, du côn, ác ôn) who beat him to within an inch of his life. Now he’s REALLY afraid of the world.
Jonny and the rest of the gang previously set on Shahid when he asked them to move their car that was blocking in his bike. Instead of just doing what he’d politely asked, they beat him to within an inch of his life.
Ben (Max Bowden) is certainly a possible suspect too, as he’s disgruntled (làm cho bực mình, bất mãn) to learn that his dad has removed him from his will (di chúc). With revenge no doubt on his mind, could Ben be the mystery attacker? The young man has proven over the past few months that nothing will stop him from taking Phil down once and for all, and what better way to do so than to beat him to within an inch of his life?
