Sit on the fence - 不左不右，坐山观虎斗

loushenghong

一个老板下面有2个能干的主管，在一个项目上，意见相左，谁都不想让步，老板不想得罪人，不表态。于是就可以形容他：he is sitting on the fence. 情绪激动的时候，还可以加入bloody,道：he is sitting on the bloody fence.

I really hate the fact that some mediators sit on the fence when they really should be taking sides.

还有例如：

你是跟我一伙的？还是高高挂起？

Are you siding (with) me? or you are just sitting on the fence?

怕误导大众，先（）一下。

Side作动词是及物动词vt

Side by side with，side是做名词，所以要用with 或者 of..

我一直这么用的。我再去查查字典研究一下。

Similarly, "Fence sitter" is also a common slang used to describe someone who has the habit of never taking sides.
