<< review queue entry 62782 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 倒吸一口凉气 (dào xī yì kǒu liáng qì) 吸 (xī) means to inhale, and 凉气 (liáng qì) refers to cold air. We use this phrase to refer to someone whois frightened or astonished by something unexpected. http://shanghaiist.com/2017/05/23/thatsmandarin-daoxiyikouqi/ J ~ gasped one. 'Let's go.' 一个海盗倒吸了一口凉气说,“我们走吧。” The sight sent a chill up my spine. 那情景使我倒吸了一口凉气。 TP ~ 買買氏也回憶,當她初次造訪羅山,看見一整片稻海在山谷中隨風翻起金黃稻浪的磅礡美景時,不由得倒吸一口氣。 The author and blogger "mymass" recalls that when she first came to Luo-shan and saw the sea of rice stems bending with the wind in the mountain valley, she gasped in awe. |
