意味
No pain, no gain.
文化的背景
The 'koláč' is a round pastry that symbolizes the sun and fertility. In traditional village life, the quality of a woman's koláče was a sign of her skill as a housewife. Similar proverbs exist across the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, reflecting a shared 'Protestant-like' work ethic even in Catholic regions. The phrase is frequently used as a hashtag (#bezpracenejsoukolace) on Instagram by fitness enthusiasts and entrepreneurs in Prague. In fairytales, the hero (often named Honza) usually has to perform difficult tasks to earn a bag of koláče before going into the world.
Use it for motivation
It's a great way to sound like a native when encouraging someone who is struggling with a task.
Don't overdo it
If you say it too often to someone who is genuinely tired, you might sound annoying or preachy.
