Definition

拿着金碗要饭吃

Literally means:

beg for food with a golden

Actually means:

stay poor or awkward because one is incapable of making use of one's favorable advantages

Literally it means begging for food with bowl made of gold. It figuratively means being trapped in a poor, needy or a passive or awkward situation because one fails to make use of one's favorable advantages. Sarcastic. Derogatory.

拿着金子做的饭碗却向别人要饭吃。比喻自身有很好的条件不会利用,导致一些不好的结果,如非常贫穷,需要求人帮助,或处于被动、尴尬的局面。含有讽刺意味。具有贬义色彩。
