衣不蔽体

guò yī bù bì tǐ shí bù guǒ fù de shēng huó

过衣不蔽体、食不果腹的生活

have rags on one's back and little in one's belly

yī gēn cū rú rén bì de lǎn shéng cóng jǐ gè yī bù bì tǐ de lā qiàn rén yī zhí jì dào chuán tóu

一根粗如人臂的缆绳，从几个衣不蔽体的拉纤人一直系到船头。

A tow rope as thick as a man's arm extended from several scantily clothed tow-men, all the way to the bow.

qīn ài de tóng bāo men dāng wǒ men zài tiāo xuǎn míng pái fú zhuāng de shí hou nǐ shì fǒu hái jì de nà xiē yī bù bì tǐ de fù lǎo xiāng qīn

亲爱的同胞们，当我们在挑选名牌服装的时候，你是否还记得那些衣不蔽体的父老乡亲？

Dear fellow countrymen, when we are choosing designer clothes, do you still remember those old folks who are not fully clothed?
