1. He’s just got married, but he misses the single life. Well it’s too bad – you can’t have your cake and eat it!
2. “You can’t have your cake and eat it.” We use this phrase in English to mean that you can’t have something both ways.
译文：
1. 他刚刚结了婚，但他还想念他的独身生活。真是不幸 – 可鱼和熊掌不可兼得。
2. “You can’t have your cake and eat it.” 在英语中我们用这个词组来表达你不可以两者兼得。
miss = 想念
can’t have your cake and eat it = can’t KEEP your cake and eat it [at the same time]
要么你有蛋糕，要么就把蛋糕吃了；这是英国人表达“鱼和熊掌不可兼得”的方式。
口语练习：
I don’t feel like going to work on Monday, but I need the money, so I can’t have my cake and eat it.
My brother just got married but he misses the single life. Well it’s too bad – he can’t have his cake and eat it!
