Ví dụ
Illegal (phi pháp) gun making is a livelihood (kế sinh nhai) that has helped put food on the table and send the family’s children to school since the 1970s, and Mr. Launa, who asked that only the initial of his first name be used for fear of being arrested (bị bắt), is just one of a host of such small-scale gunsmiths (người làm súng) in the region. His village alone is home to about a dozen.
“This year, I was amazed at the poverty (nạn đói) and the lack of funds that people are living with. People are struggling (vất vả, vật lộn) to provide the basics and put food on the table.”
