(p. 60) Isak pulled the crisp air deep into his lungs.
: 오 표현이 너무 좋쟈나.....!!! the crisp air(상쾌한 공기를)을 폐 깊이 땡겨 (들이마셔) == breathe

- "pulled": 의도적으로 공기를 강하게 들이마시는 느낌. 좀 더 적극적으로 공기를 들여보내는 뉘앙스
- "Breathed": 자연스럽게 공기를 들이마시는 동작. 특별한 힘 없이, 호흡하는 기본적인 행위.

• [noun] the state of being completely confident or having no doubt about something:
  • With certainty I'm unable to answer that question with any certainty.
• certainty가 왜 셀 수 있는 녀석일까?!
