Although he ended up as a billionaire, he was as poor as a church mouse when he began his career.
请翻译一下。谢谢！

尽管他最终成为一个亿万富翁，但他在职业生涯最开始的时候一贫如洗。
a church mouse一贫如洗

LS确言

尽管他最终成为一个亿万富翁，但他在职业生涯最开始的时候一贫如洗
end up as a billionaire 是作为亿万富翁而终老的意思。
教堂 ( church ) 是教徒们进行宗教活动的地方，教徒们虔诚地作礼拜，当然没有人在这里吃东西，自然也不会有食品橱，一切都为得庄严肃穆。所以老鼠想在教堂里找吃的东西，根本的枉费心机，教堂里的老鼠 ( a church mouse ) 是非常穷的，所以就有 as poor as a church mouse 的说法，指某人一贫如洗。

虽然他最后成为一个亿万富翁，但当他开始他的职业的时候，他是和教堂的老鼠一样的可怜。
