“拉鋸戰(zhàn)”，中文俗語，是指競爭雙方棋逢對手，你來我往不相上下，就像拉鋸一樣，故稱拉鋸戰(zhàn)?？梢苑g為“seesaw（battle）”，“seesaw”表示“a contest or struggle in which now one side now the other has the lead”。“拉鋸”可以翻譯為“be locked in a seesaw struggle”。

例句：

攻守雙方的拉鋸戰(zhàn)
Seesaw between the attackers and defenders

選舉結果出來了，總統(tǒng)候選人們進行了一場徹夜的拉鋸戰(zhàn)。當然，這是我們預料之內的。
Results have come in and it' s been a seesaw battle back and forth between the presidential candidates all night long as we, of course, expected it would be.
