"A breathing space" = không gian (để) thở, ý muốn nói đến khoảng thời gian cần để nghỉ xả hơi, tạm dừng công việc. Khi bạn quá bí bách và căng thẳng thì nên tìm cho mình "a breathing space" để lấy lại tinh thần.
Ví dụ
The professor (giáo sư) extended the deadline for our midterm papers (bài luận giữa kỳ), so I've got a bit of breathing space to get it finished.
Kohli, who has competed (thi đấu) in three World Cups before, said they do not have much breathing space because they have four tough games upfront and in a way it should help them.
The death of Joseph Stalin in 1953 was a critical turning point (bước ngoặt) in Soviet history. The absence of his heavy hand over time gave greater breathing space to public civic life across the USSR (Liên Xô). Discussing the violence (bạo lực) and tension (căng thẳng) during the period became a norm (chuẩn mực) in ‘kitchen conversations’ - kuhonnye razgovory – where people were able to reflect on (nghĩ về) life away from the overbearing Soviet state.
