Just / might as well (干脆)

Structure 干脆 + blunt decision

干脆 (gāncuì) proposes settling something decisively, with no more fuss: "just… and be done with it". 既然这么麻烦，干脆别做了 = "since it’s such a hassle, let’s just not do it". As an adverb it suggests the quickest, cleanest fix. As an adjective it describes a decisive person: 他做事很干脆 = "he gets things done without dithering".
