"A man cannot serve two masters" = Chẳng ai làm tôi hai chủ cả/một người không thể phục vụ hai chủ -> Mục tiêu, nỗ lực và sự trung thành của ai đó phân tán ở nhiều nơi, nhiều mục đích, nhiều công việc thì sẽ dẫn đến không có cái nào có kết quả thành công cả.

Ví dụ
That was because "a man cannot serve two masters. The Senators are not elected by the people. They are elected by 'the interests.'".

Daniel Wagner boarded a plane Monday for Sweden, a day after his graduation party, full of excitement for what awaited him in Europe. But there was also, maybe for the first time, a sense of loss (cảm giác mất mát, thất bại) amid (ở giữa) the realization that a man cannot serve two masters. And, right now, music is his master.

“It wasn’t my age that made me quit,” Pihos said. “I’ve always kept in top condition (thể trạng tốt) and I never smoke or drank. I know I have a couple years of football left but I’ve reached that stage in life when a man cannot serve two masters. I think I’ve found myself in the business world. I can no longer afford to give five months to football. And I can no longer be a stranger to my family. Just the other day my little girl asked me, ‘Daddy, when are you going to stay home?’”
