print ($life = "hard") -1;

Store "hard" in $life,
Substract 1 from the result of that assignment ("hard")
"hard", when used in a string context is casted to int (0)
0 - 1 == -1
Output result of subtraction (casted to string): "-1"
print "\nlife: {$life}\n";

Concatenate "\nlife: " with contents of $life ("hard") and concatenate that with "\n"
Output the result of concatenation
