足不出户

guān yuán zú bù chū hù jiù néng liǎo jiě mín shēng

官员足不出户就能了解民生。

Officials can understand the people's lives without setting foot outside their houses.

zài yǔ xuě jiāo jiā de rì zi li rú guǒ méi yǒu shén me yào jǐn shì rén men nìng yuàn yī tiān zú bù chū hù

在雨雪交加的日子里，如果没有什么要紧事，人们宁愿一天足不出户。

On such a day of sleet, if there was nothing urgent and imperative, people would rather stay indoors for a whole day than go out.
