Just for fun, I asked ChatGPT what this yoji means. It responded:
---
The Japanese term 急功近利 (kyūkōkinkuri) can be translated to "haste makes waste" or "short-term gain, long-term loss" in English. It is a proverbial expression that warns against seeking quick and easy solutions, shortcuts, or profits that may lead to negative consequences in the future. The term emphasizes the importance of taking a long-term perspective, working diligently, and making sound, well-informed decisions that consider the potential consequences and benefits over time.

For yojijukugo, if it's neither common nor in the major refs (JEs/kokugos), I don't think it's worth adding. I'd reject this one.
With this criteria, the recently added 亢竜有悔 should be dropped as well. |
