Get a second wind
     2014-November-25  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    Get a second wind字面解释就是“得到第二阵风”,这个短语是什么意思呢?请看对话:

    A: How about you brief us on your business trip at the meeting, say at around 3 p.m.?

    B: Can we start a little later? I usually feel a bit tired after lunch but get a second wind around 4 p.m.

    Note: Second wind is a phenomenon in distance running, such as marathons (as well as other sports), whereby an athlete who is too out of breath and tired to continue suddenly finds the strength to press on at top performance with less exertion. Some scientists believe the second wind to be a result of the body finding the proper balance of oxygen to counteract the buildup of lactic acid in the muscles. Others claim it’s due to endorphin production, while still others believe it to be purely psychological. The phenomenon is used as a metaphor for continuing on with renewed energy past the point thought to be one’s prime, whether in sports, careers, or life in general.
