from merriam-webster:

lean stresses lack of fat and of curving contours <a lean racehorse>
lanky suggests awkwardness and loose-jointedness as well as thinness <a lanky youth, all arms and legs>.
skinny imply an extreme leanness that suggests deficient strength and vitality追问是中文行不？

追答lean stresses lack of fat and of curving contours .
lean 强调缺少脂肪和弯曲的轮廓( 瘦的赛马)

lanky suggests awkwardness and loose-jointedness as well as thinness .
lanky 指的除了瘦还有别扭和松散 ( 瘦的年轻人，只剩下手和脚) ( 这个loose-jointedness没翻译好，不过我尽力了)

skinny 都是用于说明极度的瘦, 而且还表示了缺乏力气和生气(street urchin= 街上的流浪儿童)
