- 1吸入、吸氣（口語：吸進去；開玩笑也可指大口很快吃完）
To inhale is to breathe in: air, smoke, gas, or a smell. The air goes in through your nose or mouth and down into your lungs. You inhale from an ; you inhale cigarette smoke; you may inhale sharply when you are surprised. It names the in-half of breathing; the out-half is . Inhale is a little more precise than just “breathe,” which can mean the whole cycle. Informal English also stretches it: “He inhaled that sandwich” means he ate it very fast, as if he breathed it in — a joke, not a medical use. As a noun, an inhale is one inward breath (“Take a deep inhale”), but the verb is far more common.
