因噎废食

bù néng yīn wèi yī gè háng kōng gōng sī yǒu wèn tí jiù guān bì jī chǎng zhè yàng zuò jiù shì yīn yē fèi shí

不能因为一个航空公司有问题就关闭机场，这样做就是因噎废食。

You can't close the airport because one airline has problems; that's just giving up eating for fear of choking.

搞改革完全是一件新的事情，难免会犯错误，但我们不能因噎废食。

Since reform is a brand-new undertaking and mistakes are inevitable, we must not abandon the reform.
