我知道，但是不要因小失大。那种鞋穿不久的。

I know, but don't be penny wise and pound foolish. They won't last long.

在解决某一部分武装问题时还要考虑到对其他部分的影响，不要贪小便宜，不要因小失大，而要从全盘考虑问题。

When dealing with a specific local armed band, you should consider the others at the same time. You should have the overall situation in mind, refraining from seeking small gains at great cost.
