英譯：
beggars can't be choosers
例句：
I asked Tom to lend me his bicycle, and he sent me this old, rusty one. But beggars can't be choosers. (我要湯姆將他的腳踏車借給我，而他卻送來這台老舊又生鏽的腳踏車。沒辦法，人在屋簷下，不得不低頭。)
Mary: Let me wear your green dress; I don't like the blue one you lent me. Alice: Beggars can't be choosers. (瑪麗：我要穿妳的綠色洋裝；我不喜歡妳借我的那件藍色的。愛麗絲：人在屋簷下，不得不低頭。)
註：Beggars can't be choosers. 有「人在屋簷下，不得不低頭」和「飢不擇食」這兩個意思，所以翻譯時端賴上下文的意思而定。
