A proverb meaning that where there is pleasure there is pain too; good times are often followed by hardships—there is no pleasure without some suffering.
昇進できて嬉しいが、仕事量が増えて大変だ。楽あれば苦ありだね。
I'm happy about the promotion, but the workload increased and it's tough. After pleasure comes pain, huh.
彼女は高収入の仕事を得たが、拘束時間が長くて家庭との両立が難しいと感じている。楽あれば苦ありということだ。
She got a high-paying job but finds it hard to balance with family due to long hours. That's the idea of 'where there's pleasure, there's pain.'
安易に得た成功には落とし穴があることも多い。楽あれば苦ありだと考えた方がいい。
Success gained easily often has pitfalls. It's better to think 'there is no pleasure without pain.'
