"Ailing" describes someone who is sick, especially in a way that lasts a while, not just a quick cold - like an "ailing grandmother" who has been for some time. It's also often used for things that are in trouble or performing badly, not just people - an "ailing economy" or "ailing company" is one that's struggling and not doing well financially.
生病的、身體欠佳的;(經濟、公司等)不景氣的、每況愈下的。
