1 the breath of life
(the breath of (one's) life (тж. the breath of one's или the nostrils))жизненная необходимость, что-л. нужное человеку как воздух, смысл жизни [этим. библ. Genesis II, 7, VII, 22]Funny it used to be the breath of life to me, but I doubt if I could cope now. (M. Dickens, ‘The Happy Prisoner’, ch. 5) — Как странно. Раньше я не мог и представить себе жизнь без Анны. Теперь же, мне кажется, я не смог бы жить с нею.
And, yet, to himself just lately, the hospital's affairs seemed almost to have become the breath of life. (A. Halley, ‘The Final Diagnosis’, ch. 17) — А теперь больница, по сути дела, стала смыслом его жизни.
