Even in closely contested elections, most of the pollsters have called the winners, often by margins close to vote tally. And the pollsters who missed were off by a hair. 即使在勝負極為接近的選舉當中,多數民意測驗人員都測出了勝利者。勝負差距往往與點票結果接近。測驗失誤的人也所差微乎其微。
He missed the target by a hair. 他差一點射中目標。
As Joe got ready to kick a field goal, the result of the game hung by a hair. 喬準備好要射門時,比賽正好進行到千鈞一發的關鍵時刻。
