Ví dụ
If it weren’t for the title (tiêu đề), the movie could be about the two hit men, who are apparently the opposite of Patty Duke’s “identical cousins”--a Mutt and Jeff pair of brothers. Or it could be about the deputy (người đại diện) and his expectant wife. Probably most of the movie’s time is spent on the first three alternatives.
If you're of a certain age, you might remember a comic strip called "Mutt and Jeff." Mutt was a tall guy while in contrast (ngược lại), Jeff was quite short. Ever since they were created back in 1907, any pair of individuals of different sizes came to be known as a "Mutt and Jeff".
Some people might find the pairing (ghép đôi) of Hayek and Wilson a curious one. I did, but the Mutt and Jeff contrast abates early.
