adj.令人窒息的
Everything the Rockets did Sunday afternoon began with Shane Battier and his smothering defensive effort against Kobe Bryant. 周日下午，火箭所取得的一切成就都源于巴蒂尔，源于他对科比那令人窒息的防守。
I suspect that part of your nervous problem may be the smothering attitude of your family and you need to get out and try your wings a bit. 我想你胆小的原因部分是由于你家人的那种令人窒息的态度，你需要摆脱出来发挥自己的才能。
