1) /to make do in difficult circumstances by being resourceful/

他們開始租了一個位在天母的兩坪大鐵皮屋房間當辦公室,沒錢裝冷氣,夏天時怕機器過熱,電風扇還只能對著電腦吹,十分克難。
In the beginning they rented a tiny office space in a sheet-metal building in ­Tianmu. With no money for air conditioning, they used electric fans to keep the computers from overheating.

沿途所坐的交通工具,都是最廉價的火車硬座、巴士、交通船,住的則是人民幣3到5塊錢(約合新台幣14至25元)的通舖,還曾在民宿克難地用長江水洗澡。
Her explorations took her to Xi'an, Huashan, Weihaiwei, Chengdu, and the Three Gorges, and saw her traveling in the cheap seats on trains, busses, and ships, staying in hostel dormitories that cost just RMB3-5 per night (about NT$14-25), and even bathing in water from the Yangtze.

2) /(of circumstances) difficult/challenging/

環境雖然克難,受刑人依然能寫出一手工整的好字,
In spite of the difficulties of their environment, the prisoners write in a neat and regular hand.

他形容當時克難的淒慘情景──「夏天,我們有時候在走廊上,有時候在木板棚下上課;冬天,則在系上唯一完整的房子裡……;後來,總算獲得一間屬於自己的房子,它是圖書館、教室兼辦公室。」
[He] described the difficulties the staff and students faced: "In summer, we sometimes held classes in corridors and sometimes in wooden shacks; in winter, we held them in the department's only undamaged building. Eventually we got a building of our own which served as library, classroom and office."

3) /(of a budget) tight/
《宅變》的製片預算花了新台幣1650萬元,以國片來說並不算低,但對鬼片來說仍略嫌克難。
The Heirloom cost about NT$16.5 million to make. Though the budget wasn't small by domestic production standards, it was tight for a horror film.

「台灣現在要做好任何一件事,一定要共襄盛舉,」曹瑞原很感激的表示,負責動畫的創意特效總監嚴振欽獨立接下這次的專案,他從中影離開後帶領一群年輕人組成公司,當中甚至有些仍是在校生,在克難的預算下設計出大量的軍機飛行,以及戰爭、爆破的特效鏡頭,完成國際水準的視覺效果。
“At the moment, if you want to get anything like this done in Taiwan, it has to be a collaborative effort,” says Tsao, grateful for the help he received. Yan Zhen­qin, who took on the responsibility of supervising the computerized special effects, led a group of young people as they tried to find ways to create massive scenes of flying and combat on a tight budget. The end result, though, was world class.

4) /(of a man-made thing) makeshift/rough and ready/

隔日,路途上大雪難行,為減輕身上背包的重量,他撿拾一些被雪壓斷、長滿松葉的二葉松枝,做了個克難的雪橇。
Next day, the thick snow on the ground made the going difficult, and to take the weight of his rucksack off his body Hsu gathered some red pine branches, which had been broken off by the weight of snow and were still covered in pine needles, and fashioned them into a makeshift sledge.

沒有電烤箱時期,烤燒餅的爐子也相當克難,用一個上方開口的汽油桶,裡面鑲個陶製的大水缸當烤爐,缸裡燒炭 火,火 紅缸熱後,就把燒餅貼在缸壁四周烘烤,這套工夫叫「貼爐」。
Before they had electric ovens, they would bake the shaobing in makeshift furnaces made from a large earthenware water pot set inside an oil drum with the top cut off. They would light a charcoal fire inside the pot, and when the coals were glowing and the pot was hot they would stick the shaobing against the inside of the pot to bake.

沒想到隔天天亮時,卻發現這麼克難的轉播,竟吸引了四百多名網友同時在線觀看,
Unexpectedly, by dawn the next day, he discovered that his rough-around-the-edges broadcast had attracted more than 400 online viewers.
