adj.形容词
lower classes, hard up, poor这三个词组都用于描写一些人,这些人不能获得足够的钱物以保证像样的生活水平。其区别是： poor是其中最广义的词,可指长期或临时的物质或精神的匮乏; hard up是poor的口头用语,常指短期物质的匮乏,例如发工资前借钱买午餐或庄稼歉收时的农民,都可用hard up; lower classes习惯上用于指在任何社会中社会地位和经济地位最低的一些人,那些所谓lower classes的人通常是穷的,然而如今该词常用作带贬义的势利语,指那些胸无大志,缺少教养的人,这些人经济上也许贫也许富。例如: If prices continue to advance, poor people will find it hard to live.如果物价继续上涨,穷人的日子就更不好过了。
