“Carrot on a stick” or “carrot and stick”?

 

There have been several debates around whether the idiom is “carrot on a stick” or “carrot and stick”.  Nobody can say which one is more accurate than the other, since explanations from both are reasonable.  However, “carrot and stick” seems to be more commonly used by many.

酒逢知己千杯少, 話不投機半句多 

Drinking with a confidant, a thousand shots are too few; Talking with an uncongenial person, a word is too much.

A thousand shots do not suffice when bosom friends meet; while a word is considered too much when there is no meeting of the minds.

那個每天打扮的花技招展的女人, 又在跟她那些三姑六婆在一起說人是非了, 真好奇她那可憐的老公怎麼能忍受她這樣數十年.

 

The lady who gussied herself up daily glamorously is gossiping along with the gossipers again.  I wonder how her poor husband could put up with her decades upon decades.

Not many people knew that I performed in Southern Theatre or watched me dance before.  My husband came to one of my performance.  I believe that we still have the videotape of that. 

I am not a professional dancer, not even an amateur.  The dances I performed were Arabic Dance, Tap Dance, and Flamingo.  I like dancing.  It is just purely an interest - my passion for dance.  I also learned Modern Dance and African Dance.  Before having kids, I live a free life, swimming, spinning bike, playing racquetball, and attending dance schools.  Life is carefree.  I maintained a fit body.
