"poor but ambition" makes no sense -- ungrammatical -- no doubt, a typo

We have both parts of this expression in CEDICT -- do we need the combined version?

窮當益堅 穷当益坚 [qiong2 dang1 yi4 jian1] /poor but ambitious (idiom); hard-pressed but determined/the worse one's position,
the harder one must fight back/

老當益壯 老当益壮 [lao3 dang1 yi4 zhuang4] /old but vigorous (idiom); hale and hearty despite the years/
Diff:
- 窮當益堅,老當益壯 穷当益坚,老当益壮 [qiong2 dang1 yi4 jian1 , lao3 dang1 yi4 zhuang4] /poor but ambition, old but vigorous (idiom); robust and determined to hold one's position despite poverty and old age/
# + 窮當益堅,老當益壯 穷当益坚,老当益壮 [qiong2 dang1 yi4 jian1 , lao3 dang1 yi4 zhuang4] /poor but ambition, old but vigorous (idiom); robust and determined to hold one's position despite poverty and old age/
