哪一个君王不过是外强中干的空架子？

Who is this king, but a king of air?

谁家有什么，不过是个旧日的空架子。

This household is nothing but an empty husk left over from the past.

人生没有理想，生命便只是一堆空架子。

A life without ideal, life is just a pile of mere skeleton.

他们要迅速，不然所剩下的就只是空架子了。

They have to be quick, or all that's left are empty shelves.
