"Give with one hand and take away with the other" nghĩa là gì?

"Give with one hand and take away with the other" = Tay này thì đưa tay kia thì lấy lại -> Trước mặt thì tỏ ra muốn giúp đỡ người ta nhưng đằng sau lại muốn hại hoặc chống đối họ.

Ví dụ
It's hard for me to believe tech companies like Apple care about our digital wellbeing when they give with one hand and take away with the other.

"You can't give with one hand and take away with the other, and this funding arrangement has been something of a charade (trò hề; trò chơi đố chữ) from the start.

"I thought the idea behind this self employment scheme was to help people get off benefits and back into work but they give with one hand and take away with the other. They aren't giving people a chance."

They give with one hand and take away with the other, don’t they? Yes, there was a reason you had two episodes of EastEnders last night (and if you didn’t realise, get on BBC iPlayer now!) – there’s football on tonight so that means soap fans will have to make do without any Walford action until Monday.
