10. Strange Bedfellows: 不可能結盟的兩個人；同床異夢

How Shakespeare used it:

When Trinculo seeks shelter from a storm under the cloak of a creature he's very unsure about – he wonders if it's a man or a fish – he comments "misery acquaints a man with strange bed-fellows." (The Tempest, Act 2, Scene 2)

莎士比亞原文：特林鳩羅在一個他不知為何物的生物的斗篷下躲避暴風雨時，他不知道那是個人還是條魚，他說：“處于悲慘境地，人可以跟任何東西結成聯盟。”（《暴風雨》，第2幕第2場）

現代例句：

"But there's another key reason Philip Morris lobbied hard for FDA regulation, aligning itself with strange bedfellows like the Campaign for Smoke-Free Kids [and] the American Lung Association ..." — Kate Pickert, Time, June 12, 2009
