That way we could make two, three breadlines a day. 那样我们能挣两三倍多于救济的钱。
On the walk through the city they saw breadlines. 在走过市区的时候,他们看见领救济食物的人排着长队。
Breadlines and soup kitchens for even formerly prosperous middle-class men personified the era, and entire families thought they faced a life of poverty and joblessness. 即便是原来生活优裕的中产阶级,此时也加入了等候领取救济食品和施粥棚施舍的队伍,往往全家都面临贫困和失业。
