"penny wise pound foolish."
The meaning; eg:-
The Taiwan buz. in China said:-
"If you're penny-pinching for a small gain,
then you're carelessly ignoring the
great lost of money
in a loophole
in the buz."

(be) penny wise and pound foolish 確實是很傳神。
"省小條、賠大條!"是我在中國的台資廠和台幹接觸中聽到的，當時只認為說的頗為貼切，就牢記心上。想不到英文也有如出一轍的說法。
看看還有沒有其他說法。
(另如有中文類似的俚俗語也請提供，不論是廣東話，客家話，上海話。)

但是又有人說，
Take care of the pence, and the pounds will take care of themselves.
小條顧的好，大條就免煩擾!
這句話又該如何看待? 和原問句是否有抵觸?
(至於美國人，我們可以先擱在一邊，They watch the PENNIES lost on the sidewalk and the FED will take care of the DOLLARS.)

只看標題我還以為又是廣告, 點進來要檢舉看到前兩行還真是同一個風格, 看到發問者才知道不是. XD

So often in life we look at the price of doing something and we don't look at the cost of not (doing it). So don't try to save a little money while losing more at the same time.
