"A Jekyll and Hyde" -> Nói về sự hai mặt của con người, giữa tính tốt và xấu.

Ví dụ
“It’s kind of a Jekyll and Hyde,” manager Brad Ausmus said of Cole, who rebounded from two rough starts to throw 22/3 scoreless innings in Boston over the weekend. “Not sure I can put my finger on exactly what it is. It could just be off days.”

Although some might see that focus as a little short-sighted, it actually perfectly encapsulates (gói gọn, tóm lược) Maradona's perceived Jekyll and Hyde nature (the man himself even admits to having two personalities – Diego and Maradona). When he arrived in Naples in 1984 he was greeted in Italy's poorest city by 85,000 screaming fans. No-one mourned his departure when he finally parted ways with the club in 1992. And that's despite delivering the club a Uefa Cup and their first Serie A titles.

The story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde has become so ingrained (thấm nhuần) into our pop culture that one need not have read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to know the tale of these fictional characters. Well, perhaps not the whole tale isn’t known, but rather just the part about Dr. Jekyll’s inner conflict between good and evil that manifests (bày tỏ, chứng minh) itself, with the aid of chemistry, in the form of the wicked Mr. Hyde. Thanks to Robert Louis Stevenson‘s 1886 Gothic novella and its various on-screen adaptations, Jekyll and Hyde have grown beyond their literary origins to become a reference to any person who’s behavior goes from one extreme to another, typically a split personality where one side is nice and one is mean.
