核心句型:
Such a plan could cut both ways.
这个方案有利有弊。
cut both ways 字面意思是:“两面都砍”,这就如同在说事物既有好的一面,也有其坏的一面;有有利的一面,也有不利的一面。这个习语的正确意思是:“有利有弊”。因此,当美国人说"Such a plan could cut both ways."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"This plan has its pros 1 and cons 2."、"Such a plan has its advantages and disadvantages."、"The plan has two different effects at the same time."。
