Don't try to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds!

别想两边讨好！

固定搭配run with the hare and hunt with the hounds或者hold with the hare and run with the hounds字面意思是“跟着兔子跑，跟着狗打猎”，相当于汉语中的“两面讨好”。注意：这个表达中，hare使用的单数，hound使用的复数，这是一个固定的表达，我也不知道为什么。^_^

　　 例句：I know how to handle two-faced people and can even tell at the first glance who are in the habit of running with the hare and hunting with the hounds．
　　 我知道怎样对付两面派，而且一眼就能看出谁是一贯两面讨好的人。

　　 还记得two-faced 吗？参考3月20日的每日一句“I don't like the two-faced person. 我不喜欢两面派的人。”“两面派”和“两边讨好”还是有小小的不一样的，注意区分。
