"Take a break from studying math"

[learner2]

I am not sure how to say this.

 

I can say take a break from work, eg.

 

"暫時放低工作，休息以下。“

 

But I am unsure whether the same pattern can be used for studies or other things.

 

暫時放低數學的練習，休息以下？

 

放假（一段時間）不練習數學

 

What about "taking a break from basketball?"

 

暫時放低不練／玩籃球？

 

放假（一段時間）不練習／玩籃球？

 

Or what about taking a break from yoga lessons

 

放假（一段時間）不上瑜伽堂？

What kind of break are you taking? Do you mean a "breather" kind of break, or do you mean "union strike" kind of break?

Consider the verbs 停止 ("stop") and 中斷 ("suspend").

"暫時放低" - Being Cantonese I have no problem with 放低, but IMO it is better for you to use 放下 instead. And 暫停 is more succinct.

 

"休息以下" - it should be 一下.  You really should pay attention to such typos.

 

Also consider 歇歇 and (小/稍)歇一下.

Along the lines of what @tooironic said above, I often see 暂停。 It's my understanding that this implies a less permanent interruption of something ongoing.

 

For example, yesterday Kunming's airport suspended service temporarily because of snow and ice. 暂停 was part of most of those announcements.

Also consider: 把某事搁在一边, put sth to the side

[Nathan Mao]

Consider 喘口气。
