Susan: What's the matter, dear?
Bob: Susan, I got canned today at work.
Susan: But Bob, you were Peter's right-hand man!
Bob: Yes, and he stabbed me in the back.
Susan: Keep your chin up. Maybe he'll change his mind and take you back.
Bob: When pigs fly! Once he makes up his mind, he never changes it. Besides, I told him off.
Susan: Look on the bright side: you won't have to set eyes on Peter ever again.
Bob: Thank goodness for that!
Susan: Hang in there. I'm sure you won't be out of work for long.
Bob: In the meantime, we'll have to live from hand to mouth.
Susan: Don't get too stressed out, Bob. We'll make ends meet.
Bob: I can always get a job at McDonald's as a last resort.
Susan: I don't think they're hiring right now.
Bob: If worse comes to worst, we can sell our home and move into a tent.
Susan: Let's think big! Maybe you can start your own business.
Bob: Easier said than done! stabbed me in the back
在我背后捅刀子 Mr. Jin, does "live from hand to mouth" mean 坐吃山空？ Mr. Jin, does "live from hand to mouth" mean 坐吃山空？

每个词都听得清清楚楚，但并不能理解每句话的意思。
我得把它背下来！ 也就是“手停口停”的意思吗？ 也就是“手停口停”的意思吗？
