How about "there is no use threatening a dead pig with boiling water"?

there is no use threatening a dead hog with boiled water, this saying is quite loyal to its original text and thus quite vivid

shameless

1.死猪不怕开水浇:------原译：A dead pig fears not scalding water.
2.比喻无所顾忌,怎么办都行---意译：sb stops at nothing/has nothing to fear,what's to be done is all right!

不应该从字面上译，应该看比喻义译才对吧
