a mixed blessing
a mixed blessing
◊ If something is a blessing and a curse or a mixed blessing there are both good and bad things about it.好坏参半之事；利弊各半之事
- Being famous can be a blessing and a curse.出名是件让人喜忧参半的事情。
- The promotion was really a mixed blessing because I'm now so busy that I don't have time to spend the extra income.那次升职真是有利有弊，现在我忙得都没时间去花那些多挣的钱。
