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。
