"You can't get a quart into a pint pot" -> nghĩa là không thể cố nhét cái gì vào không gian quá nhỏ so với nó được; không thể 'lấy thúng úp voi' được.
Ví dụ
It’s not difficult to work out that with 40 per cent of their carrying capacity (sức chứa) down there were going to be booking issues, though it was a relatively quiet time. However, the good old British public failed to grasp that you can’t get a quart into a pint pot and made a big issue of the situation.
People wanted HDTV on the DTT platform, now they're getting it they are to dim (mập mờ) to grasp the fact that you can't get a quart into a pint pot. You wanted HD on the DTT platform - now start living with it!
No matter what is done at Coppins Bridge itself, you can’t get a quart into a pint pot, and there will always be a bottleneck (cổ chai) until something is done about some kind of ring road for Newport, however rudimentary (sơ bộ) or fragmentary (rời rạc). One section was lost by developer greed (and IW Council complicity), namely a proper link between Blackwater Road and Staplers – it was on the original plans for Pan Meadows, and then quietly shelved to accommodate a few more houses.
