'Live from hand to mouth' = sống từ tay đến miệng -> nghĩa là sống lần hồi, sống cầm hơi, sống chật vật (to have just enough money to live on and nothing extra).

Ví dụ
We're fishermen who live from hand to mouth.

This is why there are players who end up being forced to live from hand to mouth, and I feel that this is a matter that all sides should take seriously and work towards a proper solution.
