idiom
Van ugyebár egy ilyen mondás, ami múlt időben használatos arra a szituációra, amikor egy dolog sikerült, de nem sokon múlott (mármint, hogy ne sikerüljön). Most ezt kellene nekem jelenidőbe átültetni, olyan értelemben, hogy tulajdonképpen mennek a dolgok, vesszük az akadályokat, de azért a helyzet korántsem megnyugtató.
Kontextus: gazdaságpolitika

by a narrow margin, bythe skin of their teeth
By a narrow margin
Éppenhogy, mint itt:
squeak > Senses > noun (act) > 2
Meaning: Something achieved (or escaped) by a narrow margin

mint itt:
In the end the Victorians escaped by the skin of their teeth and there will have
been many who would have given them scant hope of retaining their title.

If you pass a test by just a few points or your team barely wins the soccer
game, people might say you did so by the skin of your teeth.

De még ez is sem túl bizalmas kifejezés, nyugodtan alkalmazható egy közgazdasági szövegben.
Aztán jöhetnek a lazábbak, (blood) damn close/hot - de ezekre most aligha van szükség.

A close shave.
In the past, student barbers learned to shave on customers. If they shaved too close, their clients might be cut or even barely escape serious injury. Today, we use this idiom if a person narrowly escapes disaster.
