Explanation at your level:

This phrase means you are breathing fast because you are very happy or excited.
Use this when someone is breathing heavily because they are excited or have been moving quickly. It shows they have a lot of energy.
This idiom describes the physical manifestation of excitement or exertion. It is often used in storytelling to convey that a character is eager or has just arrived after rushing to share news.
The phrase functions as a descriptive tool to bridge physical state and emotional intensity. It is distinct from medical descriptions of dyspnea, as it specifically connotes vitality, joy, or anticipation.
Linguistically, this is a somatic metaphor where the 'bouncing' of the breath acts as a synecdoche for the internal state of the subject. It is a common literary device to externalize internal affective states.
This expression exemplifies the Japanese tendency to map abstract emotional states onto physiological phenomena. It serves as a nuanced marker of 'liveliness' and 'sincerity,' contrasting sharply with clinical descriptions of respiratory distress.
