English term or phrase: They met with a ribald hoot well-meaning attempts to furnish their bareness.
I need help with the translation of this sentence. It is preceded by this sentence in the story: "The Arabs seemed hostile to the material blessings of civilization rather than appreciative of them." It may help.

Thank You
