"You can't have your cake and eat it too" nghĩa là gì?


"You can't have your cake and eat it too" = không thể vừa ăn bánh mà lại vẫn còn bánh được -> nghĩa là không thể có hai điều tốt cùng một lúc.

Ví dụ
You can't have your cake and eat it, too, if you can’t find a place to park. “Avondale has always been difficult with parking, it’s just exaggerated (phóng đại) now,” says Gala Desserts Owner Jaclyn Story. That's because the business next door to her has been under construction for nearly 10 months.

You can’t have your cake and eat it, too. So buy two cakes. One for eating, and another for having (read: eating later). You’re an adult now—you can do what you want! But you can’t always get what you want. So just start wanting things you already have, like your friend’s parents’ HBO password.

The image, posted June 24 on Facebook, shows a purported (nổi tiếng) sign at Crystal Methodist Church in Effing, South Carolina. The message: "Adultery is a sin. You can't have your Kate and Edith too."

Mr. Marlin also defends the U.S. bishops (giám mục) in their decision to issue a statement on the Eucharist. “They have an obligation (bổn phận) to spell out directly the teachings of the church,” he says. “No one forces people to be Roman Catholic. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.”
