最近在奥克兰跟朋友聊远程工作,
她说 freedom 和 discipline 是一体两面。

回来一查,老外真的天天用这句聊哲理。

💡 使用提醒
- 记结构,别记单词。只要记住 "[A] and [B] are two sides of the same coin",往里填词就行。
- 说的时候 coin 别加 s,是一枚硬币的两面,不是两枚。
- 这句自带哲理感,聊工作、聊生活、聊社会都能用,比 "on the other hand" 高级多了。
- 别直译成 "one body two faces",老外完全听不懂。
- A 和 B 可以是好事配好事,也可以是好事配坏事,关键是它们本质相连。
