<< review queue entry 70807 >> "No profit, no early", when many people hear this sentence, they acquiesce that it is a derogatory term, and take it for granted that this person who wakes up early is a powerful person. In fact, this is a wrong interpretation of this sentence. It is a neutral word, which has two meanings. 1. Those who are forced by life, they have to get up early in order to survive. You can sleep until you wake up naturally, especially in the cold winter, what a pleasure it is. If it wasn't for helplessness, who would want to work so hard? The only reason is that reality compels it. 2. The other meaning of "no profit can't afford early" does contain derogatory elements. It specifically refers to those who do illegal business. Because it is early in the morning, many people are still resting, and the streets are relatively deserted at this time. , When doing some illegal or shameful business, it is less likely to be bumped into. ----------------------------------- Editor: 别再废话了。我们都是急性子，无利不起早， I've had enough ridiculous talk for one day. Impatient guys don't get started unless there's something in it for us. 我了解他 无利不起早 I know him.
