the game is not worth the candle; the loss is greater than the gain

1. 迪克一開始舍不得花錢去看醫(yī)生，如果，他的心臟病日趨嚴重。這真是貪小失大，得不償失。
   Dick's heart trouble became worse because he wouldn't spend money to see a doctor at the beginning; he was indeed penny wise and pound foolish.
2. 因此，看起來政治家們?nèi)?a href="/hycd/d/d126209.htm" target="_blank">得了勝利。我惟一的想法是，他們為此付出了慘重的代價，未免得不償失。世界上其他任何一個國家的政治家之間的分歧都沒有這里的政治家之間的分歧那么大，那么公開。
   So it looks as it the politicians have won. My only point is that it has been a Pyrrhic victory. In no country in the world are politicians held in greater or more open division than they are here.
3. 犯罪是得不償失的。
   Crime doesn't pay.
