شما نمی توانید هم خدا را بخواهید و هم خرما را یا هم کیک را داشته باشد و هم خوردنش را
می توان به دو صورت ترجمه کرد
یکی به روش بومی سازی
هم خدا را بخواهید هم خرما را
یکی به روش بیگانه سازی
هم کیک را بخواهید هم خوردنش را
نمونه جملات:
eat one's cake and have it too
هم کیک را بخواهد هم خوردنش را هم خدا را بخواهد هم خرما را
He refuses to give up anything and always wants to eat his cake and have it too.
او نمیخواهد از چیزی دست بکشد و همیشه هم میخواهد کیک را داشته باشد و هم بتواند آن را بخورد.
John wants the security of marriage and the freedom of being single. He wants to eat his cake and have it too.
"جان" هم امنیت زندگی زناشویی را میخواهد هم آزادیهای زندگی مجردی. او هم خدا را میخواهد هم خرما را.
به اشکال دیگر هم می توان ترجمه کرد:
هم خر رو میخواد هم خرما رو
هم خر را میخاد هم پالونه خر را
هم خرو میخاد هم پالونه خرو

The idiom" You cannot have it both ways" has also the same meaning.
