我感到痛心沮丧，在那么接近终点的情形下又输掉了一场比赛。

I was bitterly disappointed to have lost yet another race so near the finish.

《柯林斯英汉双解大词典》

将整个体育场覆盖在它们能够捕捉到的范围之内。 我们可以很轻易地用一个镜头拍摄跳远或跳高的比赛场面，同时还能用另一个镜头拍摄到终点线和铅球投掷区的镜头。

We can easily photograph the long jump or high jump pits with one camera as well as the finish line and the shot putt area with the other.

这就像一场游泳，但你不知道自己能否挺过来，因为对岸是不确定的，你完全不清楚什么时候能够抵达终点。

It's like going swimming but never knowing if you can stand up because the bottom is so unstable you simply can't tell when you have reached it.
