她不惜放弃高薪工作也要追求自己的梦想 (tā bùxī fàngqì gāoxīn gōngzuò yě yào zhuīqiú zìjǐ de mèngxiǎng) — "She would give up her high-paying job without hesitation to pursue her dream." That sentence showcases 不惜 (bùxī), a Mandarin pattern meaning "At All Costs / Not Hesitating To." You use it to express strong determination by naming a sacrifice you're willing to make for an important goal.
The structure is straightforward: Subject + 不惜 + Sacrifice + 也要 + Goal. Place 不惜 before whatever you're willing to give up, then 也要 before what you want to achieve. The result reads as "I would not hesitate to give up X in order to achieve Y." Another example: 他不惜一切代价也要成功 (tā bùxī yíqiè dàijià yě yào chénggōng) — "He would succeed at any cost." This pattern carries real weight, so it fits situations where you're expressing genuine resolve, not casual preferences.

不惜 (bùxī) means "At All Costs / Not Hesitating To." You place it before a sacrifice, then follow with 也要 before your goal. For example, 她不惜放弃高薪工作也要追求自己的梦想 means she would give up her high-paying job without hesitation to pursue her dream. The pattern conveys that the sacrifice is worth it.
The 不惜 pattern carries far more weight than a simple desire. It explicitly names what you're willing to give up, then pairs it with 也要 to state the goal — so the listener hears both the cost and the determination. It fits serious commitments, not casual preferences.
