社会底层 the bottom of society
underclass
- 毛派试图推行土地改革、解放社会底层并吸引外资。
The Maoists want to push through land reform, emancipate the lower casts and seek foreign investment. - 仅仅经过一代人,他们便从自豪的工人阶级蜕化成道德败坏的社会底层分子。
In a generation, they have descended from proud working class to demoralized underclass. - 要是来自贫苦之地的移民过来帮忙收橄榄并在他们的餐馆帮工,社会底层的人也就得以喘息。
And many people at the bottom of the pile breathed a bit easier, if only because immigrants from poorer places came to harvest their olives and work in their restaurants.
