"You can't have both the fish and the bear's paw" means: one wants both the bear's paw and the fish, but you can't have both because of the limitations of the conditions, and if you can't have both at the same time, then how should you choose?

Fish and bear's paw can't go together is from Mengzi's "Fish I Desire", which says when fish and bear's paw can't go together, how to make a choice, which expresses a profound philosophy of life, and is meant to remind people of how to make a choice when facing a trade-off. At the same time, it is also a metaphor for people's second choice in life, reflecting people's desires side by side.

"You can't have both the fish and the bear's paw"

"You can't have both the fish and the bear's paw" is just like "You can't have two tigers on the same mountain", and the top of the pyramid is always the most rare and precious one. In a nutshell, I want fame and fortune; I want the power of being an official and the freedom of not being an official.

Smaller, want to read and want to play mahjong; want to work and want to leisure. The first thing I'd like to say is that I don't want to be a part of it, but I'd like to be a part of it. The reason why it is difficult, difficult to give up, difficult in that can not get both things are "I want", and even, is what everyone wants. Otherwise, there is nothing difficult.
