不要贪图小便宜,否则会因小失大
翻译成外语

Do not take any lower, otherwise they will be penny wise and pound foolish

贪小失大
吕氏春秋·权勋》:“达子又帅其馀卒,以军於秦周,无以 赏,使人请金於齐王,齐王怒曰:‘若残竖子之类,恶能给若金?’与燕人战,大败,达子死,齐王走莒。燕人逐北入国,相与争金於美唐甚多。此贪於小利以失大利者也。”后以“贪小失大”指因贪图小便宜而失掉更大的利益。

go for the small things and miss things that are worthwhile;
covet a little and lose a lot;
penny-wise and pound-foolish;
seek small gains but incur big losses; suffer big losses for the sake of small gains
