"Speak with forked tongue" có 'forked tongue' là lưỡi chẻ ba, như lưỡi rắn -> cụm từ này nghĩa là nói dối, lừa lọc, không chân thật; nói lắt léo. 

Ví dụ
“Health MEC should not speak with forked tongue when it comes to infections” Information is one of the primary (tất yếu) weapons in combating (chiến đấu) the spread of Covid-19.

In a state where the drum (trống) beat for more housing never stops, the roadblocks to building more affordable housing is always lurking (che giấu) in the background. We think these people speak with “forked tongue,” as the saying goes.

I cannot trust a PM (prime minister) who got there by sleight of hand (dùng hai bàn tay làm trò ảo thuật, ý nói là lừa dối), smoke and mirrors, who belongs to a cult church which protects paedophiles (người ấu dâm), and covers up (che giấu) the suicides of young gay people in the church. And they believe in the “end times” nonsense, that Jesus wants them to be rich, and that they’ll all be ‘saved’, while us miserable sinners go to hell. Sorry, can’t take him seriously. I get all my CV19 information from ABC, Dr Norman Swan, and other specific sites, never from ‘mygov’. Long experience has shown me that they are snake oil salesmen, who speak with forked tongue.
