I've tried to
- rewrite the definition to be applicable to the usage I found, and
- provide a few examples of what "sth" can refer to
- put "sth" in parentheses since 坐享 is a transitive verb

鑒於毒品價格已經炒得天高,此時查緝行動若稍有鬆懈,坐享暴利的毒販馬上會聲勢坐大,
Now that drugs have been made so scarce that prices have skyrocketed, if there is even slight relaxation in vigilance, then dealers will reap windfall profits.

「含飴弄孫、坐享清福,是建立在父業子承、還有女眷辛勤打理家務的基礎上。現在連台灣都做不到了,何況在美國?」
"It is said that carefree living for the elderly depends on fathers passing on their livelihoods to their sons and women working hard in the home. Things are not even like this in Taiwan anymore, so how could this be so in America?"
[K defines 清福 as "the good fortune of a peaceful life"]

「我們不是不知道,越前端的研究一旦成功,獲得的利潤越大,光是坐享技術移轉的權利金就賺翻了,」
"It's not that we don't know that the success of more advanced research means greater profits, and that once you develop something, you can just sit back and watch the money roll in from technology transfer fees,"

「這是國際義務,也是產業所需,」衛生署醫事處長薛瑞元指出,我們不能永遠坐享其成,只揀歐美國家的研究成果,自己卻吝於投入研究。
"These studies are an international duty, as well as something the industry needs," argues Hsueh Jui-yuan, director of the DOH's Bureau of Medical Affairs. Hsueh says that Taiwanese cannot forever sit back and enjoy the fruits of other people's labor, drawing on European and American research while stinting on our own.

民國百年,喜事連連,《光華》當年報導了台灣已獲百餘國的免簽待遇,其中突破歐盟,更一舉讓免簽國的成績增加了57個國家與地區。此外,兩岸經濟合作架構協議(ECFA)在2010年6月簽訂,2011年元旦上路,只半年早收清單即坐享紅利。還有華人喜好圓圓滿滿,大家都想沾「百年好合」的喜氣,百年婚育開紅盤。
To celebrate the centennial, Taiwan Panorama reported on the visa-free travel agreements that Taiwan had already signed with more than 100 nations. By signing an agreement with the European Union, Taiwan added visa-free entry to 57 countries and territories at a stroke. The Economic Co­opera­tion Framework Agreement with mainland China, signed in June 2010, took effect in early 2011. Just half a year later, it was already bearing fruit. Also, many couples took advantage of the numerically auspicious year to get married.

駿吉控股股份有限公司董事長、拿督江文洲說:「不要看『東協的馬來西亞』,而是要看『馬來西亞的東協』。」東南亞6億的人口紅利,加上成長中的中產階級,世界各國均想方設法地要跨進這蓄勢待發的領土。人口約三千一百萬的馬來西亞,內需市場不大,但居東協中心樞紐的位置,卻佔盡了天時、地利;身為東協會員國,坐享免稅待遇,位居東南亞的中心,更可串連周遭市場腹地,大馬最適合成為台商進入東協的營運總部。
Dato’ Allen ­Chiang, president of In­max Holdings, says, “Rather than ‘ASEAN’s Malaysia,’ it’s better to think of it as “Malaysia’s ASEAN.” With a population of about 31 million, the domestic market isn’t all that large, but it is advantageously positioned to serve as the central hub for ASEAN. As an ASEAN member, the country enjoys duty-free trade with other member nations, and its central location amid the group makes it well suited for Taiwanese firms’ ASEAN headquarters.


不想承担任何责任,却只想坐享成果。
They want nothing to do with responsibility. They just want to sit by and wait for the outcomes delivered to their faces.

你却和你那宝贝家庭坐享天伦之乐
And you're all tucked in at night with your precious family.

With a Central location and five-star facilities,

在这里,坐享豪华舒适的海景房;
Here, enjoy luxurious sea-view room;
