请教一句话的理解 - 柯帕斯英语网

看一篇食物安全文章中一句话，if we hunted all of the world's wild mammals and birds, they'd get us by for a few days.

请教这句话中的get us by是一个固定表达格式吗？如何理解它的使用和表达含义呢？

get by 是习语，有survive的含义。they'd get us by for a few days. 意思是：它们能让我们多支撑几天。(也就是多活些日子)

请看the free dictionary习语释义：

5. To succeed in managing; survive: 例句：We can get by if we save our money carefully.
