English:
A direct translation of "衣服手洗", meaning that clothes need to be washed by hand. It lacks the passive voice auxiliary and the modal verb; standard English would be "Clothes should be washed by hand" or "Hand-wash the clothes." This construction reflects the common Chinese topic-comment structure where "clothes" is the topic and "wash by hand" is the comment.
