But there were days when a weight in my heart made each breath shallow and every step an effort.

但在某些日子里，我的内心又无比沉重，每一次呼吸都微弱不堪，每一步都难以迈出。

Conscious of your breath - slowing down fast shallow breathing.

关注你的呼吸-放慢那些快而浅的呼吸。

In a brief emergency, a few shallow breaths won't hurt you. But if you don't take a deep breath for a long time, your lungs can partially collapse, a condition known as atelectasis.

在短暂的紧急状况下，些许的浅层呼吸不会造成损伤，但是如果你很长时间都不能深呼吸一口，你的肺会部分萎蔫，导致一种叫做肺陷落的情况。
