in the same breath

 in the same breath

If you say two things in the same breath, you say two things that are so different that if one is true, the other must be false.

如果你in the same breath说两件事，那么就是说你说的那两件事是截然不同，如果一件是真的，另一件就一定是假的。


同时，紧接着(尤用于谴责某人的言论自相矛盾)


You say he treats you badly but in the same breath you tell me how much you love him!
你一会儿说他对你有多不好，可一会儿又说你有多爱他!
