English in a Minute: Touch and Go

Welcome to English in a Minute!
Touch is one of our five senses. So, what might touch-and-go mean?
D: I just heard from Ashley that you lost your pet. I’m so sorry.
A: Thanks, Dan. Things were touch-and-go for a while. But finally, I found Rocky.
D: It’s a rock?
A: It’s Rocky -- my pet rock. We go way back, Dan.
Touch-and-go describes a situation that is uncertain. The final result is unknown. We mostly use this phrase when talking about serious situations, like a health scare. Not a missing pet rock.

让子弹飞一会儿，可不可以翻译成：Let things be touch-and-go for a while.

不对，touch-and-go更接近“摸着石头过河”

Seems complicated this idiom
