Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Explanation: If an exact literal translation is not required, then this phrase seems rather helpful. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-08-04 23:05:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Of course, the phrase in your example is "Going is hell, withdrawing is hell," but I think in many contexts this should be applicable. |
