英语翻译
"The Presidential race looks jar-lid-tight.We could be in for a long night,as voters decide whether Vice President Al Gore or Texas Governor George Bush will be the next President of the United States.It is that close."
在VOA看到的这句话,请问jar-lid-tight这个合成词如何准确翻译?有没有什么习语的由来?

The Presidential race looks jar-lid-tight：意思是说两位总统候选人获胜机率的差距,犹如将罐子拧紧盖子后之间的缝隙那么小.
所以,这种翻译就不能直译,只能意译.
The Presidential race looks jar-lid-tight：这场总统的竞争,势均力敌.
这也就是为什么说可能要煎熬整个长夜,因为要到最后时刻才能分胜负.
【英语牛人团】
google上搜了下好像这词不是固定的，是临时合成吧，似乎没有什么由来，就是像罐头盖子一样紧，额，翻译……白热化什么的可以么？
总统大选看起来罐子盖拧紧。我们可以在一个漫长的夜晚，因为选民们决定副总统阿尔·戈尔和得克萨斯州州长乔治·布什是否将成为美国的下一任总统。这是接近。
总统竞选看起来好像密封的瓶盖/极其保密。
选举竞赛白热化进行中，Jar-罐子lid-盖子Tight-紧 算是俗语类的了，这一类的单词只能多听多积累了
