 선거철에 누가 당선이 될 것 같습니까? 라는 질문을 누가 했을 때 원어민이라면 어떻게 대답을 하고  만약에 "It's anybody's guess." 라고 했다면 그 의미는 무엇일까요. 그 뜻은   "예측이 불가능하다." 입니다.  달리 말해서 The three major contenders are in a dead heat.  여기서 in a dead heat는 neck and neck 과 같은 뜻 즉 막상막하(우열을 가리기 힘든 상태)를 가리킨다.

 몇 년 전에 대학원 시험준비를 위해서 AFN TV를 자주 보게 되었는데, 그 때에 부시 대통령과 엘 고어 후보가 TV 토론(debate)에 참여를 하였습니다. 그 당시 이 토론회를 지켜본 전문가들(experts)이 가장 많이 썼던 표현은 neck and neck이었습니다. 'neck and neck'은 경주말들이 시합을 하면서 서로 앞서거니 뒤서거니 하는 예측불허의 상황을 생각하시면 됩니다.'
