Let's say she's falling from a 32 story building, about 300 feet, and you are 6 feet tall, maybe 10 feet on your tippy-toes, with your arms above your head holding a door, in hopes of distributing the pressure across a larger surface area, but all you're doing is essentially moving the ground up by 10 feet.
比如说她正在从32层楼上落下,差不多300英尺,而你有6英尺高,可能踮起脚尖有10英尺高,你双臂将一扇门举过头顶,期望能够将压力分散作用于一个更大的表面积上,但实际上你所做的只是把着陆点抬高了10英尺。
