【句子】There's a little breathing room. 【Modern Family S3E17】【发音】/ðeə(r)z/ /ə/ /ˈlɪt.l/ /ˈbriː.ðɪŋ/ /ruːm/【发音技巧】There's a连读；little闪音；【翻译】你可以先缓缓，不用急。【适用场合】今天节目中，我们来学习一下这里breathing room的用法，可以理解成：；A sufficient buffer of time, space, or money that allows for freedom of movement or relief from a given source of pressure or stress.“时间、空间或者金钱上的足够的缓冲，可以让人有活动的自由，或者可以从当前的压力当中解脱出来”；英式英语中也经常说breathing space，意思一样。所以显然这里的room跟“房间”没什么关系，而是space“空间”的意思；eg: I wanted a little breathing space between jobs.我曾想要在两份工作之间有一点休息、调整自己的时间。eg: The court's decision gave us some breathing space.法庭的裁决给了我们一段休整期。eg: There is no breathing room on the crowded airplane.这飞机上真拥挤，都透不过气了。eg: My yearly bonus always affords us a little bit of breathing room for the Christmas expenses.我的年终奖总能缓解一下我们圣诞节购物所带来的经济压力。eg: This holiday will give me a bit of breathing space before I start my new job.这个假期可以让我在开始新工作之前有一段休整时期。eg: Please move back and give us some breathing room here.往后挪挪，给我们留点地儿。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 The professor extended the deadline for our midterm papers, so I've got a bit of breathing room to get it finished.
