意味: Enjoying a wealthy, comfortable, and extravagant lifestyle.

享受富裕、舒适、奢华的生活。

Disfrutar de un estilo de vida acomodado, cómodo y extravagante.

裕福で快適な贅沢な生活を楽しんでいること。

부유하고 편안한 사치스러운 생활을 즐기는 것.

'Living large' means enjoying the good life — a big house, nice car, fancy vacations, and no financial worries. It's less flashy than 'balling' and can simply mean living comfortably beyond your needs.

'Living large'意为享受优质生活——大房子、好车、豪华度假、没有经济压力。比'balling'没那么张扬，也可以单纯指过着超出基本需求的舒适生活。

'Living large' significa disfrutar de la buena vida — una casa grande, un buen coche, vacaciones de lujo y sin preocupaciones económicas. Es menos llamativo que 'balling' y simplemente puede significar vivir cómodamente por encima de tus necesidades.

「living large」は良い暮らしを楽しむこと——大きな家、良い車、豪華なバケーション、お金の心配なし。「balling」ほど派手ではなく、単に必要以上に快適に暮らしているという意味にもなる。

'리빙 라지(living large)'는 좋은 삶을 즐기는 것을 뜻한다 — 큰 집, 좋은 차, 멋진 휴가, 경제적 걱정이 없는 상태. '볼링(balling)'보다 덜 과시적이며, 단순히 필요 이상으로 편안하게 사는 것을 의미할 수도 있다.
