不...白不...

经常碰到要表达一个意思不知道怎么表达好的情况，虽然罗罗嗦嗦也勉强说出那个意思了，但是总想知道更好的表达方法。下面的说法怎么说好呢？
比如，sick leave年底都要作废的，不休白不休。
或者，今天午餐公司买单，不吃白不吃。

sick leaves cannot be accumulated, might as well use it

might as well有那种“还不如怎么怎么样或者还是怎么怎么样的好”的意思。有没有更好的呢，能包含不做就有点吃亏的意思在里面。

有道理，我想想。

Grange

sick leaves cannot be accumulated, and they are free so might as well use it.

What do you think?

azurechris

might as well, 其实挺合适的，，也可以讲 use it or lose it

floodp

use it or lose it. 这个好，谢谢啊。

sick leaves cannot be accumulated, only nuffy don't use it.

我觉得可以用nothing bad 或者no harm来表达。
不休白不休 there is nothing bad to have a break
                      there is no harm to take days-off.

...why not use it？
