“Within an inch of (one’s) life” có within an inch of là suýt nữa, gần -> cụm từ này có nghĩa là sắp chết, gần chết.

Ví dụ
"It was almost an anthem (bài thánh ca) for some women who said 'It's helped me find the inner strength to leave my partner'. I've had so many stories from women who write in and say 'I was beaten within an inch of my life, but your song helped me through it'."

Yes. It’s really heavy noir. It’s first and foremost a revenge tale (chuyện trả thù), but I like to say if Quentin Tarantino and David Lynch had a baby it would be this show. When its campy it’s very campy, but when not it’s dark and violent. I’m being asked to act within an inch of my life and honestly, to say it’s a dream come true, yes. It’s really great I can strut (chống, trụ) on stage and get to ride and kill people.

On what planet does Eric Garcetti think arsonists (kẻ cố ý gây nên hoả hoạn; kẻ đốt phá) and anarchists (người theo chủ nghĩa vô chính phủ) are interested in community college? Some may already have full degrees, if not more. What does he think they would study? Coding? Fire science? But arguably worst of all was Garcetti defiantly saying “this isn’t 1992,” when asked whether he would call in the National Guard to restore safety and order, referring to the destruction (sự phá hủy, tàn phá) caused by the LAPD beating Rodney King to within an inch of his life nearly three decades ago.
