在主场1-0击败莱斯特城之后，曼城向英超冠军迈出了关键一步，并在积分榜上再次反超了利物浦。请看本报昨日的报道：

Manchester City returned to the top of the English Premier League with one round left after captain Vincent Kompany hit a sensational goal to beat Leicester 1-0 in a dramatic and tense match Monday.

The ferocious long-range shot by City’s long-serving and influential captain settled nerves 70 minutes into the nail-biting contest at Etihad Stadium.

报道中的nail-biting就是“令人紧张兴奋的、充满悬念的”，因为人们在担心焦虑不知道结果的情况下会做出咬指甲这样的小动作。例如：

Germany won the championship after a nail-biting final.

一场充满悬念的决赛之后德国队赢得了冠军。
