have your cake and eat it too是什么意思

如题所述

这句话的直译是:
你不可以既把蛋糕完整地保留,又把它吃掉。

这句话的原句来源为:
You can't have your cake and eat it (too)
即【谚语】:鱼与熊掌两者不可兼得

举个例句如下,见下列对话:
A: So I hear you are looking for a celebrity to endorse your product. (听说你准备找一位明星作产品代言人。)
B: Yeah. Gotta be a household name like Jackie Chan or Stephen Chow. And he has to be cheap. (是啊。必须是像成龙、周星驰那样家喻户晓的明星,而且得便宜点。)
A: Duh! You can’t have your cake and eat it too! (拜托!鱼与熊掌不可兼得。)
