"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" nghĩa là gì?

"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" nghĩa là nếu không thể hạ được đối thủ thì bạn nên sát cánh cùng họ, làm những công việc họ làm.

Ví dụ
In the candid (vô tư, không thiên vị) interview (phỏng vấn), the director also spoke of his love for spy thrillers (phim gián điệp) and even said he was once close to taking the director's chair for the most iconic spy of them all, but it never quite materialised (thành hiện thực). He said: "I nearly directed a Bond [film]. And I didn't get the chance, but you know, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em... or if you can't join 'em, beat 'em, whatever the expression is. "So yeah, I love spy movies, I love Austin Powers, In Like Flint, Bourne, 24, you name it. I'm an espionage freak (kẻ cuồng gián điệp), so this was my version." The King's Man is set to be released in February 2020.

But as they say, if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em, and that’s exactly what the rapper did. Iggy conceded (được thừa nhận) by sharing a collab vid where Peppa plays a rap by the Aussie singer and it’s the mother of all mashups.

There's another reason too. Why should I watch foreigners (người ngoại quốc) come here at, say, 55, kick back for 10 years and sign up for the pension (lương hưu) for the next 30 years without working here or without building this country or contributing (cống hiến) to it. Bugger it, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. And politicians (chính trị gia) who now mess with this model are dead meat. Hey, here's a deal, work longer! Argh no.
