Picture the end of a hard run in a crowd: people are pressing in on every side, you step back half a pace, and only then can you fill your lungs. That half a pace is the whole word. It is not comfort and it is not escape; it is the smallest amount of clearance that lets you breathe. English uses that half a pace twice, once as room around your body and once as a gap in time.
可以想成剛跑完一段路，人擠在一起，你退開半步，才吸得到一口氣。breathing space 的畫面就是這半步：不是舒舒服服，也不是逃走，只是剛好夠你把氣喘勻。英文把這半步用在兩個地方，一個是身體周圍的空間，一個是時間上的空檔。
