suffocating


Explanation:
Saya rasa tidak ada terjemahan harafiah yang tepat karena kalau diterjemahkan secara harafiah bisa disalahpahami sebagai masalah medis.

Saya mengusulkan terjemahan kalimat tsb menjadi: "suffocating problems."

Suffocating kan artinya tidak bisa/sulit bernafas. Menurut saya ini menggambarkan makna dalam kalimat Bahasa Indonesia.

heart sinking


Explanation:
Ini salah satu ungkapan idiomatis u/ situasi yang membuat miris dan meringis. :)

Dalam contoh di bawah, orang yang terlalu keras tertawa mungkin sebenarnya ingin melupakan masalah yang menyesakkan dada.



Example sentence(s):
  • ..the person with the loudest laugh is trying to forget a disastrous relationship, stress at work, or some other heart-sinking problem.
