意味
To breathe heavily after physical exertion.
文化的背景
In Germany, physical fitness and outdoor activities like 'Wandern' are highly valued. Being 'außer Atem' is often discussed openly as a sign of a good workout. In the mountainous regions of Austria, 'außer Atem sein' is a common part of the vocabulary for skiers and hikers dealing with high altitudes. Similar to Austria, the Swiss context often links this phrase to alpine sports and the physical rigor of mountain life. In big cities like Berlin or Hamburg, the 'Sprint zur U-Bahn' is a cultural trope where being 'außer Atem' is a shared daily struggle.
