“最后关头”的“紧张和兴奋”的口语表达

LH: 真够悬的！双方一直是0比0，我还以为美国队要被淘汰了呢！谁知美国队居然在最后三分种里进了个球，这下就挺进16强啦！

L: I know! That was so amazing! If I watch a few more games like that, I'm going to have a heart attack!

LH: 心脏病？不至于吧！不过，这场比赛最后几分钟确实挺刺激的。

L: You're right. That game really came down to the wire.

LH: Down to the wire? 这是什么意思？

L: When something comes down to the wire, that means there isn't much time left.

LH: 哦，down to the wire就是指到了最后关头。你是说这场比赛在快结束的时候居然难分胜负。

L: Right. Here's another example. My big report for work is due tomorrow and I still have a lot of work to do, so it's really coming down to the wire today.

LH: 你是说，明天有报告要交，可你还没怎么写呢，所以今天是你完成报告的最后关头了！哎？既然要写报告，干嘛还看世界杯？

L: I'll just say that I know what's important in life. Say, how is your summer job search going?

LH: 还在找呢。我已经快没钱了，如果再找不到工作，我连房租也交不出来了。

L: Gosh, it sounds like it's really coming down to the wire. Have you had any success?

LH: 倒是有一份工作，我已经进入最后一轮面试了，公司说今天下午打电话通知我结果。

L: Wow, it sounds like it's coming down to the wire. You must really be on the edge of your seat.

LH: 是啊，已经快5点了，还没来电话，我都要急死了！
