adj.令人窒息的

Everything the Rockets did Sunday afternoon began with Shane Battier and his smothering defensive effort against Kobe Bryant. 周日下午，火箭所取得的一切成就都源于巴蒂爾，源于他對科比那令人窒息的防守。

I suspect that part of your nervous problem may be the smothering attitude of your family and you need to get out and try your wings a bit. 我想你膽小的原因部分是由于你家人的那種令人窒息的態(tài)度，你需要擺脫出來發(fā)揮自己的才能。
