"Within a hair of (something)" nghĩa là rất gần, suýt soát đạt được điều gì (khoảng cách một sợi tóc).

Ví dụ
According to data compiled (dữ liệu tổng hợp) by Lane County Public Health, Umatilla County has the third highest COVID-19 rate per 100,000 population and is within a hair of overtaking Multnomah County for second place.

Hours just before the Nigeria and Germany closed their international borders (biên giới) because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Germany-based Nigerian artist Chidi Kwubiri came within a hair of being trapped (mắc kẹt) in his homeland during the lockdown.

At the end of last month, the Italian broadcaster (đài truyền hình) purchased an additional 4.1% of ProSiebenSat.1 in a move that took the Italian media group to within a hair of the threshold (ngưỡng cửa) that would trigger a concentration probe (thăm dò).

We walk almost everywhere we go – we have had bikes speed by us not reducing speed or angle of attack, we turn and approaching us at breakneck (nguy hiểm) speed is a bicyclist – no heads up, “I am behind you,” no warning. As a result we have been within a hair of being hit!
