知道“見好就收”的英文怎么說嗎

原標(biāo)題：To quit while you’re ahead 見好就收

見好就收

當(dāng)我們做事情還處于領(lǐng)先的狀態(tài)時(shí)，可以考慮是否應(yīng)該 “quit

while you‘re ahead“，如果繼續(xù)堅(jiān)持并不意味著結(jié)果會(huì)更好。這個(gè)

表達(dá)源于賭博，在賭場(chǎng)上如果贏錢了，最好適可而止，見好就收，不可

太貪心否則可能會(huì)傾家蕩產(chǎn)。

例句

Spend a few years playing the stock market， make some

money， then get out. Quit while you’re ahead.

I don’t think you should spend any more on your car. Quit

while you’re ahead. If you ll it now you’ll still come out with

a bit of profit， but if you put any more cash into it you’ll never

make it back.

請(qǐng)注意

Quitter 是一個(gè)貶義詞，形容某人一碰到困難就打退堂鼓，不愿解

決難題、半途而廢、不善始善終的人。

例句

Don’t be a quitter. Just becau you didn’t pass your first

exam doesn’t mean you should give up. You’ll just have to work

harder.

I’m going to make this job work for me. It’s been tough but

I’m going to stick at it. I’m not a quitter.
