今天和大家分享几个和呼吸有关的短语。
No.1 hold one’s breath 某人屏气，某人屏息
hold 作动词，有抑制，守住的意思，所以 hold one’s breath 就可以理解为某人屏气，某人屏息
举个例子：
Hold your breath and count to ten.
屏住呼吸，数到十。
另外呢，这个短语还可以表示某人屏息以待，某人焦虑地等待
举个例子：
He held his breath while the results were read out.
No.2 out of breath喘不上气，透不过气来
举个例子：
We were out of breath after only five minutes.
我们五分钟后便气喘吁吁了。
No.3 take sb's breath away令人惊叹，让人叹绝
如果某个美景美到快要拿走你的呼吸，就可以引申为令人惊叹，让人叹绝
举个例子：
My first view of the island from the air took my breath away.
