cf. 管他呢, 管他的, 不管

* I see 管他 used to be in the dictionary as a synonym for 管他呢/管他的 before being removed, but there's a difference: 管他 (also spelled 管它) can be followed by the thing that doesn't matter (名次高低, 預報是晴是雨...), it's not just a fixed expression, like 管他呢.


【Wenlin:管他】
v[erb].o[bject construction]. (don't) worry about/that ...

【现代汉语大词典】
不管或任凭怎么样的意思。
| 艾芜《山野》:死生有命, 富贵在天…管他做什么。


〈管它〉
豐年祭的重頭戲,當然非歌舞表演莫屬。男女老少依年齡分組,穿戴鮮豔的傳統服飾,豔陽高照下,各組人馬依然卯足全力,隨著音樂舞動賣力演出。管它名次高低,舉起你的雙手,搖搖你的屁股,跳跳跳!跟著全場high起來!
The singing and dancing are by far the most important performances. The performers, divided into groups by age, wear bright costumes. Although out under the blazing sun, they nonetheless give their all, throwing themselves into the music and dance

話說回來,管它預報是晴是雨,總有人選擇「風雨無阻」,企業家也多半具備這種積極性格,正如友嘉實業集團總裁朱志洋的堅持:「該投資的還是要投資、該成長的還是要努力成長、該賺的錢還是要去賺——反正,有些變數不到最後關頭,誰也不知道;既然無法掌握,又何必想太多?」
In the end, whether the forecast is for rain or shine, there are always people who still adopt the attitude that "I'm not going to let the weather stop me." Most businessmen have the same positive attitude. As Chu Chih-yang, chairman of the Fair Friend Group, insists: "You invest where there are investments to be made, you grow where there's room to grow, and you do your best to earn the money that's out there to be earned. Anyway, you don't know about a lot of variables until you get to the end. Since they are beyond your control, why worry about them?"

在歐洲,因為飲食消費高得嚇人,一路上他們也不敢吃得太放肆。有一個下雨天在瑞士,他們在街上走得又濕又冷,鄭懷超告訴鄭耀基,「管它要花多少錢,我都要吃一餐道地的起司火鍋。」
Because food is shockingly expensive in Europe, they could not eat with wild abandon along the way. One rainy day as they traipsed cold and wet along a Swiss street, Sarah turned to Raymond and said, "The heck with the cost. I want to have a genuine local fondue."

〈管他〉
在聯合獨佔的市場中,大財團一路縱橫,創造一個市場讓大家一起玩,財閥賺飽了,還可以營造幾個感人的活動,送炭到蘭嶼,管他什麼才是蘭嶼人需要的;保育海龜,管他海龜會不會因為經費多了反遭干擾荼毒。
Then these companies pursue various philanthropic activities to show their compassionate side, by making public displays of charitable donations to the people of Lanyu (even if the people there have no need of their gifts) or funding protection of sea turtles on Lanyu (even if the extra funds actually result in more harm to the turtles).

「就算是約好人來送瓦斯、修電話,也都令我片面戒備,」她說,「家裡來一個陌生的男人,管他是在廚房換電熱管,在廁所修電燈,我最經常的反應就是打電話給朋友,彷彿藉著與外界通訊,獲得安全保障,這類保護動作從來沒有人教過。」
"Even if it's making an appointment with someone to deliver a tank of natural gas or fix the telephone, I take precautions," she says. "When there's a strange man in the house to fix the bathroom plumbing or do work in the kitchen or whatever, my usual response is to call a friend, and protect myself by having contact with somebody outside." She adds, to illustrate how conscientious she is about her security, that the idea came to her on her own: "No one ever taught me to do this."
