Better good neighbours near than relations far away. 远亲不如近邻。
Better go to bed supperless than rise in debt. 宁可饿肚子，切莫去借债。
Better half an egg than empty shell. 半只蛋也比空壳好。
Better is the neighbour's hen than mine. 人莫知其苗之硕。
Better late than never. 迟做总比不做好。
Better lose a jest than a friend. 宁可不说一句俏皮话，以免得罪朋友们。
Better lose the saddle than the horse. 吃小亏占大便宜。
Better master one than engage with ten. 精通一事胜于会十事。
Better one-eyed than stone-blind. 独眼总比全瞎好。
Better poor with honour than rich with shame. 穷得光荣，胜过富得可耻。
