1. The poor starve and the rich feast. 穷人挨饿, 富人吃喝。
2. Over time, people starve themselves of both food and air, effectively weakening and hooking their children, eventually killing themselves. 久而久之,人们不但缺少食物,而且还缺少空气,这样不但大大地削弱了孩子们的体质,还使他们染上了烟瘾,最终还会致他们于死地。
3. You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe, waiting for a boat which never comes. 要么饿死,要么像鲁滨孙那样,天天盼船来,却总没见船影。
