舒气

1. get one's breath; catch one's breath

♦ 到了半山腰, 我们坐下来舒舒气。 Halfway up the hill, we sat down to catch our breath.

2. relax; have a breathing space

♦ 险情排除了, 大家才算舒了口气。 We didn't get a breathing space until the crisis was over.

3. relieve one's feelings; let off steam

♦ 他只知道发牢骚~。 He's given to fussing and grumbling as a way of relieving his feelings.
