Chinese Idiom

一箭双雕 yī jiàn shuāng diāo ( one arrow, two eagles.)

一 yī = one

箭 jiàn = arrow

双 shuāng = two / pair

雕 diāo = eagle

It means you accomplish two objectives with a single action. This phrase means exactly the same as "killing two birds with one stone," and the way it is usually used is identical to tis English counterpart as well.

Examples:

自己做菜又省钱又健康, 真是一箭双雕

"Cooking your own meals is healthier and saves money. You kill two birds with one stone."
