与其孤注一掷,不如让你的君主来修复你的废墟吧。
Rather throw the helve after the hatchet,and leave your ruins to be repaired by your prince.

与其锈掉不如用坏;与其闲死,不如忙死。
Better wear out than rust out.
(相形之下)使...黯然失色;使...远不如(某人)
Be eclipsed by sb.
这天气与其说暖和不如说闷热。
It is sultry rather than warm.
与其靠善行,不如靠信仰来拯救

salvation by faith rather than works.
与其靠善行,不如靠信仰来拯救
Salvation by faith rather than works.
与其锈坏,不如用坏;与其闲死,不如忙死。
It is better to wear oneself out with hard work than to become feeble through laziness and inactivity.
与其做忏悔,不如做殉道者。

It is better to be a martyr than a confessor.
与其锈掉,不如用坏。
Better wear out than rust.
与其诅咒黑暗,不如燃起蜡烛。(斯特郎)
Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.(Strong)
