以下是出自CNN的一个例句
a split second =一瞬间；一刹那
例句：Paul was a split second away from being hit by the car before his friend p
ulled him out of the way.
保罗在他朋友拉他离开车道前差一点被车撞。
想要请教的地方是，这个句子中的
was away from做何种解释用？？
麻烦了！！

多少away from being hit

离''被车撞这件事''只有a split second的(时间)距离=离''被车撞这件事''非常近=差一点被车撞

谢谢各位，感谢exempt,讲的很清楚
