hyperventilating and gasping, cataclysmic changes, discombobulating

 

But the feeling you get as you walk through “A Window Suddenly Opens” is that these artists are hyperventilating and gasping, not breathing comfortably. They are reckoning with the weight of Chinese history, both recent and ancient, and with the cataclysmic changes that are transforming their culture with discombobulating speed.

但是當你走過“一扇突然打開的窗戶”時,你的感覺是這些藝術家正在過度換氣和喘息,呼吸不暢。 他們正在考慮中國近代和古代歷史的重量,以及正在以混亂的速度改變他們的文化的災難性變化。
