  Diarmuid: Hi, and welcome to BBC Learning English. I’m Diarmuid.
          Feifei: 大家好,我是冯菲菲。
          Diarmuid: In this Real English programme we’ll be looking at an English
idiom.
          Feifei: 还有对应的汉语成语谚语。
          Diarmuid: Today’s English idiom is you can’t have your cake, and eat
it.
          Feifei: 什么意思呢?
          Diarmuid: It means that you can’t have everything, or you can’t have things
both ways.
          Feifei: 意思是你不可能什么都有,或两者兼得。
          Diarmuid: You can’t have your cake, and eat it.
          Feifei: 这个成语的字面意思是, 你不可能吃了蛋糕,同时又想拿着蛋糕。
          Diarmuid: Do you have an equivalent idiom in Chinese?
          Feifei: Yes. 汉语我们说鱼和熊掌,不可兼得。我觉得也可以翻译为,世事两难全。
          Diarmuid: Let’s hear some examples of people using this idiom in
conversation.
          Examples
          A: I’d love to spend more time with my daughter, but I’d miss out on my
career if I worked part time.
          B: Yeah, it’s tricky. You can’t have your cake and eat it.
          A: I’ve saved loads of money because I’ve stopped going out. The problem
is, now I’m really bored with staying in!
          B: Well you can’t have your cake and eat it.
          Feifei: 第一段对话中的母亲特别想多和女儿共度时光,可是又不想改半天上班,怕耽误了自己的事业。
          Diarmuid: She can’t have her cake, and eat it.
          Feifei: 第二段对话中的女孩子说,她攒了不少钱,因为她不在外出社交,省了不少开销,可是日久天长,没有社交的生活又让她感到烦了。
          Diarmuid: She can’t have her cake, and eat it.
          Feifei: 她不可能社交,省钱两者兼得。
          Diarmuid: The English idiom is: You can’t have your cake, and eat it.
          Feifei: 汉语我们说鱼和熊掌,不可兼得。换句话说就是世事两难全。
          Diarmuid: Well, I hope you’ve enjoyed our programme. You can get a new
programme every day on our website.
          Feifei: www.bbcchina.com.cn 下次节目还有更多成语,千万不要错过收听,再见。
          Diarmuid: Goodbye!
