字词 羊毛出在羊身上。
释义
羊毛出在羊身上。

Yángmáo chū zài yáng shēn shàng.*

Lit Sheep's wool comes from off a sheep's body.

Fig Just as sheep's wool comes out from a sheep's own body, so any benefits actually cost oneself (although they may seem to come from elsewhere). “There's no such thing as a free lunch.”

Note [Cf. Xǐngshì Yīnyuán Zhuàn, chap. 1.]
