'Dying' in slang usage means experiencing an emotion so intensely — usually laughter — that you feel physically overwhelmed. 'I'm dying' is slightly less intense than 'I'm dead' but conveys the same hyperbolic reaction. Can also express other extreme states: 'dying of embarrassment,' 'dying to try that restaurant.'

俚语中的'dying'指一种情绪强烈到身体都受不了的状态——通常是笑。'I'm dying'比'I'm dead'稍微弱一点，但传达的是同样的夸张反应。也可以表达其他极端状态：'dying of embarrassment'（尴尬死了）、'dying to try that restaurant'（超想去那家餐厅）。

'Dying' en jerga significa experimentar una emoción tan intensa — normalmente risa — que te sientes físicamente superado. 'I'm dying' es ligeramente menos intenso que 'I'm dead' pero transmite la misma reacción hiperbólica. También puede expresar otros estados extremos: 'dying of embarrassment' (morirse de vergüenza), 'dying to try that restaurant' (morirse de ganas de probar ese restaurante).

スラングとしての「dying」は、感情があまりに強烈で——特に笑い——身体的に圧倒される状態を表す。「I'm dying」は「I'm dead」よりやや軽いが、同じく大げさなリアクション。「dying of embarrassment（恥ずかしくて死にそう）」「dying to try that restaurant（あのレストランに行きたくてたまらない）」など、他の極端な状態にも使える。

'Dying'은 슬랭에서 감정을 너무 강렬하게 느끼는 것 — 주로 웃음 — 을 의미하며, 신체적으로 압도되는 느낌이다. 'I'm dying'은 'I'm dead'보다 약간 덜 강하지만 같은 과장된 반응을 전달한다. 다른 극단적 상태도 표현 가능: '창피해서 죽겠다', '그 식당 가보고 싶어 죽겠다' 등.
