Chinese term or phrase: 共存共榮﹐互利共生
Does anyone have a good way to interpret this into English? It's full sentence is:

共存共榮,互利共生是我們的理念,您耀眼的成果也代表著我們的榮耀

Any input will be much appreciated!

your life and your glory, our profits for our triumph together


Explanation:
I'd love to try this out... actually, it reads more like advertising material for financial products than literary content

共存共榮,互利共生是我們的理念,您耀眼的成果也代表著我們的榮耀

It sounds a little awkward in English if I were to list out 共存共榮﹐互利共生 fully, so I've added more words to it to prop it up a little. Also, the words are not too literally translated, and so, it may not be that accurate, as I do not know the context of your translation.
_________

We believe in sharing in everything with you - your life and your glory, our profits for our triumph together. Your brilliant success is a testament to our own achievements.

共存共榮 - your life and your glory
互利共生 - our profits for our triumph together

If you've noticed, I've translated 共生 into triumph. Literally speaking, it should be survival, but sometimes survival can also be interpreted as prevailing/victory over life/difficulties.

Well, hope this helps!

In prosperity and for mutual benefits we live together.


Explanation:
假若是從英翻中的角度來看,標語多以簡潔有力為訴求
而中文可能會多加喧染些,不盡然百分百符合原文字義
所以我的譯文也是簡短為主,點到重點即可
In prosperity and for mutual benefits we live together.
或是,
Living together in prosperity and for mutual benefits.

希望對您有所幫助~
