Explanation:
Sudah umum diketahui bahwa tak ada yang gratis di dunia ini, namun...

"There ain't no such thing as a free lunch" (alternatively, "There's no such thing as a free lunch" or other variants) is a popular adage communicating the idea that it is impossible to get something for nothing.... Even if something appears to be free, there is always a cost to the person or to society as a whole even though that cost may be hidden or distributed.

hal yang benar-benar gratis


Explanation:
'free lunch' kayaknya mengandung unsur 'kelihatannya gratis', padahal tidak. Sesungguhnya tetap ada 'harga' yang harus kita bayar di belakangnya. Jadi kalau sekedar dipadankan dengan 'gratis' mungkin belum 100% pas, jadi musti ditambah 'yang benar-benar'. Hal yang 'gratis' jelas banyak di dunia, cuma, yang 'gratis' itu sebenarnya belum tentu *gratis*, karena ada sesuatu yang harus kita lakukan. Jadi cuma embel-embel doang, gratis. Misal: gratis 1, kalau beli 2. Yang 1 itu memang gratis, tapi sebenarnya tidak gratis. Kalau nggak beli 2 ya nggak dapat. Jadi gratis, tapi nggak gratis... :D

bebas pamrih


Explanation:
Tidak ada sesuatu [budi atau jasa] yang bebas pamrih.

Seperti menjawab pertanyaan ini, para penjawabnya mengharapkan dapat poin. he.he.he.

pamrih: maksud tersembunyi u/ kepentingan pribadi.
