win是“贏、勝利”的意思，那win by a hair字面意思就是“通過一根頭發(fā)取勝”，說明勝利是險勝，以毫厘之差取得的勝利。
【例句】
Nancy ran faster than ever before but she lost by a hair.
Nancy比以往任何時候都跑得快，但是她還是以毫厘之差敗北。
It was as close as an election could be. A million people voted and the candidate I voted for won by only 350 votes. She only won by a hair but that still makes her our new governor.
這次選舉競爭空前激烈。有一百多萬人投票，我選的侯選人僅僅領先三百五十票而贏得勝利，她以微弱的優(yōu)勢險勝當上了州長。
