EXAMPLE SENTENCES

比上不足,比下有馀。

Not the best, but better than many.

可以“比上不足,比下有余”这何尝不行!

May "compared to on insufficiency, under the ratio have -odd" this not to be never good!

若总是比上不足,大部分人都会罹患忧郁症。比方说贝克·汉姆,因为没住进白金汉宫而郁郁寡欢。

If they choose to compare with those who are better-off, most of them would suffer depression like David Beckham who feels sullen over not being able to move into the Buckingham Palace.
