[高中] 問 Time 雜誌的英文句子

[initialdream (go go go)]

1.  However, I find it curious that you start intensive research into the

    city with an opinion piece by a resident of New York who let Michigan

    four decades ago.

**這裡的piece作用和意思為何?

2.  Don’t worry. Even if I have to pull all-nighters (通宵熬夜), I can

    make this work. We were flying by the seat of our pants. Somehow we

    had to keep faith that it would come together.

**這一篇文章是Obama的回憶，他在敘述他是如何提名副總統的。(Time 11/9)

  但是這一句(We were flying by the seat of our pants.)、我不了解它的意思。

  因為俚語的用法似乎也找不到。

3.  Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9000 with zero

    foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency.

**這裡的 heartbeat 作用和意思為何? 應該不是指心跳的意思吧?

Thanks!!
