By the skin of one’s teeth

---

【释义】：

刻不容缓，侥幸，相差极小；恰好，刚巧

Yea. young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.

All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.

My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth

Job 19:18-20

连小孩子也藐视我。

我若起来，他们都嘲笑我。

我的密友都憎恶我，我平日所爱的人向我翻脸。

我的皮肉紧贴骨头，我只剩牙皮逃脱了。

《约伯记》19∶18－20］
