吃亏

Being small is a handicap in a crowd like this.

样一群中，个子小吃亏。

We were handicapped by lack of money.

我们因缺钱而吃亏。

If you slap your face until it’s swollen in an effort to look imposing,you’ll suffer for sure.

打肿脸充胖子,吃亏的是自己。

A person,who is imperious and tries to gloss over his fault,is bound to suffer in the end.

专横跋扈、文过饰的到头来总是要吃亏的。
