嫁汉嫁汉,穿衣吃饭 我猜意思是: Marry a Chinese man and you will be well taken care of (for the rest of your life). 可是我不知道英文有类似的谚语没有。

汉 means 'a man' 嫁汉 means 'marry a man' 穿衣吃饭 are the primary needs for people In the past time of China, most women couldn't get an eduction and a job to support themselves, the only way for them to survive was marrying a man. So 嫁汉嫁汉,穿衣吃饭 means 'marry a (good) man, live a good life'.

我觉得这句话好像还有另外一种理解,家汉就像穿衣吃饭一样是天经地义的,就是说都是很自然的事情的,男大当婚,女大当嫁嘛~不知道是不是这个意思。如果是的话,可以这样翻译,To marry a man is like eating and dressing, which are quite natural。
