Pinyin: Lián miànbāo dōu chī bù liǎo.
Translation: I can't even eat bread.

连 (lián): This means "even" or "including," used to emphasize that something is included in a negative statement.
面包 (miànbāo): This means "bread."
都 (dōu): This means "all" or "both," often used for emphasis.
吃 (chī): This means "to eat."
不了 (bù liǎo): This means "cannot" or "unable to." It indicates inability to do something.

Pinyin: Lián jiǔbā dōu qù bù liǎo.
Translation: I can't even go to the bar.

连 (lián): Again, this means "even" or "including," emphasizing that going to the bar is also impossible.
酒吧 (jiǔbā): This means "bar."
都 (dōu): This functions the same as in the first sentence, for emphasis.
去 (qù): This means "to go."
不了 (bù liǎo): This indicates inability to go somewhere.

Both sentences emphasize a sense of inability, highlighting that not only can the speaker not do one thing (eating bread or going to the bar), but even that basic action is impossible. The structure "连 + noun + 都 + verb + 不了" is used to convey this meaning effectively.
