望梅止渴下一句怎么對？？

望梅止渴``指雁為羹``畫餅充饑 `空中樓閣``世外桃源`

求英譯“食之無味，棄之可惜”

Not bad enough to stay 留下也無大礙；有爾不多，無爾不少；食之無味，棄之不甘/可惜

"Not bad enough to leave， but not good enough to stay。 (1)" What does this expression reminds you of， vis-a-vis關于 "Romance of the Three Kingdom"？ (1) I did not copy down the title。 I might have remembered it incorrectly。 It might have been "Not good enought to stay， but not bad enough to leave。" Either way， the meaning is the same。
