in the same breath
ili: in one and the same breath
Note from asker:
| Izgleda da značenje nije baš isto. in the same breath: 1. 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. 2. if you talk about two people or things in the same breath, you think they are very similar. 3. at the same time. Usage notes: said when comparing two statements that seem to have opposite meanings http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/in+the+same+breath |
