QUE SIGNIFIE HAVE ONE'S CAKE AND EAT IT EN ANGLAIS

Vous ne pouvez pas avoir votre gâteau et le manger

You can't have your cake and eat it

Vous ne pouvez pas avoir votre gâteau et manger, c'est un proverbe idiomatique anglais ou une figure de discours populaire. Beaucoup de gens méconnaissent les significations de «avoir» et de «manger» tel qu'utilisé ici, mais comprennent toujours le proverbe dans son intégralité et son intention et l'utilisent sous cette forme. Certaines personnes estiment que cette forme du proverbe est incorrecte et illogique et préfère plutôt «vous ne pouvez pas manger votre gâteau et l'avoir», ce qui est en fait plus proche de la forme originale du proverbe mais très rare aujourd'hui. D'autres variantes rares utilisent "keep" au lieu de "have". "Vous ne pouvez pas avoir votre gâteau et le manger aussi", c'est une question de consommation. Une fois mangé, le gâteau est parti. Cette analogie est souvent utilisée pour décrire les gros dépensiers. Une fois que l'argent a été dépensé, il ne sera plus nécessaire de le montrer. Le proverbe signifie littéralement «vous ne pouvez pas posséder votre gâteau et le manger», une fois qu'il a été mangé, vous ne l'avez plus «vous ne pouvez pas manger le gâteau et le garder» ou «vous ne pouvez pas manger le gâteau et l'avoir encore ". Il peut être utilisé pour dire que l'on ne peut ou ne doit pas ou ne veut pas ou que plus d'un mérite ou peut gérer, ou qu'on ne peut ou ne doit pas essayer d'avoir deux choses incompatibles.

You can't have your cake and eat it is a popular English idiomatic proverb or figure of speech. Many people misunderstand the meanings of "have" and "eat" as used here but still understand the proverb in its entirety and intent and use it in this form. Some people feel this form of the proverb is incorrect and illogical and instead prefer "you can't eat your cake and have it ", which is in fact closer to the original form of the proverb but very rare today. Other rare variants use "keep" instead of "have". "You can't have your cake and eat it too," is about consumption. Once eaten, the cake is gone. This analogy is often used to describe heavy spenders. Once the money has been spent, there may be nothing left to show for it. The proverb literally means "you cannot both possess your cake and eat it", once it has been eaten, you no longer have it "you cannot eat the cake and keep it" or "you can't eat the cake and have it still". It can be used to say that one cannot or should not have or want more than one deserves or can handle, or that one cannot or should not try to have two incompatible things.
