Quando uma pessoa quer, mas não consegue fazer mais de uma coisa ao mesmo tempo, qua do tenta fazer dizemos que ela quer "assobiar e chupar cana". existe alguma expressão em inglês para dizer isso?

Boa pergunta! Eu sou italiano e aquí na Itália nós dizemos "querer o barril cheio e a mulher bebida". Já ouvi dizer em inglês a expressão " you can't have the cake and eat it".

@Risteard well, pienso que «you can't have the cake and eat it» quizás quiere decir otra cosa.
