"be willing to take things lying down" is 願善罷甘休 rather than 善罷甘休. See the first example below.

更有名的例子則是一九八七年發行,賣座鼎盛的《致命吸引力》[Fatal Attraction] 這部美國電影,劇情描述一個原本幸福的中產階級家庭,妻子外出幾天,先生偷腥,以為一夜情到此結束,想不到蛇蠍美人有如憤怒野獸,不願善罷甘休,而她的命運是死在維護家庭的妻子槍下。出軌的丈夫整個生活成了恐怖夢魘,但丈夫還能從夢魘中醒來,不倫之戀卻成了單身女郎的致命原因。

日本政府不要認為我們已經老了、等不及冗長的訴訟程序,即便我們死了,還有後人替我討公道,日本政府一天不承認錯誤,我們一天不善罷甘休。……」來自高雄的阿桃阿嬤這樣說。
