\u6709\u5931\u5fc5\u6709\u5f97 y\u01d2ush\u012b bì y\u01d2u dé\u3002can also mean “No pain, no gain.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Friend, when you lost something (\u6709\u5931 y\u01d2u sh\u012b), for sure you just gained something else (\u5fc5\u6709\u5f97 bì y\u01d2u dé)\u3002”<\/p>\n

“How so? I just got laid off while a recession is coming.”<\/p>\n

“No worries, now you just got some time to yourself to think a<\/em>bout what you really want to do in the future. Grab this chance and give your life a fresh restart and recharge.”<\/p>\n

The above is an example co<\/em>nversation to help you understand under what circumstances you could use this phrase. Please remember, NEVER use it to comfort people for their loss of loved ones!!<\/p>\n

Now let’s have a look at two examples in Chinese:<\/p>\n

    y\u01d2ush\u012b bì y\u01d2u dé\uff0c zhège g\u014dngchéng su\u012brán zuò sh\u012bbài le, w\u01d2men què cóng zh\u014dngxué le bùsh\u01ceo d\u014dngxi\u3002<\/p>\n

    \u6709\u5931\u5fc5\u6709\u5f97\uff0c\u8fd9\u4e2a\u5de5\u7a0b\u867d\u7136\u505a\u5931\u8d25\u4e86, \u6211\u4eec\u5374\u4ece\u4e2d\u5b66\u4e86\u4e0d\u5c11\u4e1c\u897f\u3002<\/p>\n

    No pain no gain. Although the project was a failure, we’ve learned a lot from it.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    li\u01ceng niánqián wèile zhè fèn g\u014dngzuò t\u0101 fàngqì le h\u011bn du\u014d\uff0c xiànzài ne\uff0c t\u0101 shì w\u01d2men zh\u014dng zuò dé zuìh\u01ceo de y\u012b gè\uff0c su\u01d2y\u01d0 y\u01d2ush\u012b bì y\u01d2u dé\u3002<\/p>\n

    \u4e24\u5e74\u524d\u4e3a\u4e86\u8fd9\u4efd\u5de5\u4f5c\u5979\u653e\u5f03\u4e86\u5f88\u591a\uff0c\u73b0\u5728\u5462\uff0c\u5979\u662f\u6211\u4eec\u4e2d\u505a\u5f97\u6700\u597d\u7684\u4e00\u4e2a\uff0c\u6240\u4ee5\u6709\u5931\u5fc5\u6709\u5f97\u3002<\/p>\n

    She gave up a lot for the sake of this job two years ago, and now she’s the best among us. Therefore no pain no gain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To switch “\u5931” and “\u5f97“  in \u6709\u5931\u5fc5\u6709\u5f97 y\u01d2ush\u012b bì y\u01d2u dé, it becomes \u6709\u5f97\u5fc5\u6709\u5931 y\u01d2u dé bì y\u01d2ush\u012b\u3002It is often used to advise people to stay cautious and coolheaded when things are going extremely well. This is just the opposite of \u6709\u5931\u5fc5\u6709\u5f97 y\u01d2ush\u012b bì y\u01d2u dé.<\/p>\n

Are you clear now? If yes, please practice using them in a Chinese conversation.
