six of one and half a dozen of the other 一个是六，另一个也是六，那二者就没什么区别啦！你是不是已经知道了，它用中文翻译就是“半斤八两”。以前不知道半斤为什么等于八两，明明是五两啊！原来旧制一斤为十六两，所以半斤也就是八两了。

【例句】
If popularization remains at the same level for ever, won't the educators and those being educated be six of one and half a dozen of the other?
如果普及工作永远停留在一个水平上，那么教育者和被教育者岂不都是半斤八两？

It doesn’t really matter which way you solve the problem .It’s six of one and half a dozen of the other.
你用哪种方法解决这个问题都可以，没什么区别。
