crushing

/ˈkrʌʃɪŋ/B2

毁灭性的 / 难以承受的 (adj.)

由动词 `crush`(压碎)派生而来,形容压力、债务或失败「极其沉重的、击碎人心的」。这里 `crushing debt` 形容「负债累累、债台高筑」。

And don't say money, because I know you're in debt.
If you really knew anything about me, you would've said "crushing debt,"
and I'll bet whatever, 'Cause there's no way I'm losing.
