"By a whisker" -> nghĩa là suýt chút nữa thì thắng/thua, trong gang tấc; whisker là ria mép, tóc mai, "xém đường tơ kẽ tóc" đó các bạn.
Ví dụ
Malaysia's Muhyiddin wins vote to replace speaker by a whisker. Muhyiddin's coalition (liên minh) won by two votes in first test of parliamentary majority since manoeuvring (diễn tập) to power in March.
Sukesh Kant, 50, of Lakhimpur Kheri tried to commit suicide (tự tử) by jumping in front of the train but was saved by a whisker. Suffering from acute (gay gắt) depression, he was disappointed and disillusioned (vowx moongj) with life. He had returned from Surat where he worked in a textile mill after it was shut.
He missed the GM norm by a whisker for no fault of his as he was paired in the last round with an opponent below the required 2340+ rating. It’s very unfortunate. He has come this far on several occasions before and the norms (quy tắc) have sadly eluded (trốn tránh) him.
