"Between the hammer and the anvil" nghĩa là gì?


"Between the hammer and the anvil" -> nghĩa là đối mặt với hai khó khăn/thách thức ngang nhau, tránh cái này thì đụng cái kia; 'trên đe dưới búa'.

Ví dụ
International engagement is not new for Mongolia — especially in military training and arms procurement (mua sắm vũ khí). But the current and future focus of its engagement needs to be on promoting peace in the region and beyond through global humanitarian operations. Far from just being between the hammer and the anvil, Mongolia has proven itself to be a contributor to global peace and stability and should continue on that path.

Many people do not know the extent of their abilities until they are put to the test. The best results occur when they are squeezed into a corner when it is a matter of life and death. Today, many survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi passed through that stage of survival, where they found themselves between the hammer and the anvil.

Of course, similar principles apply to every economic activity that needs people to be physically present. That would include shipping, logistics and agriculture. For example, agriculture contributes 2% to 4% of GDP to southern EU countries, which is twice that of northern members. These governments are basically stuck between the hammer and the anvil – hence the need for urgent assistance.
