任何一次，人们感觉到由疼痛、挑战、或压力而带来的威胁，防御或保护某人时，通常的反应都是屏住呼吸或很浅短的呼吸，不规则的节奏。

Any time people feel threatened, be it by pain, challenge, or pressure to perform, the need to guard or defend oneself usually results in holding the breath or breathing in shallow, erratic patterns.

如果某人在身体上伤害了我，我不必憎恨他，是为了在未来保护自己。

If someone had hurt me physically, I do not have to hate him in order to protect myself in the future.

His magic is directed at the metadivine realm, trying to tap into its powers. It's not directed at the gods. It's trying to tap into the ultimate source of power to use that power to influence the gods in a particular way or protect oneself against the gods.

这种法术的对象是超神领域，试图获得其中的神力,它不直接针对神，而是通过接近,神力的源头来获得力量，用特殊的方式影响众神,或保护某人不受到神的伤害。
