flip side of the coin 從另一個角度來說
Pesticide can be used to kill insects and small animals that destroy crops, but on the flip side of the coin, it may also destroy the natural environment.
殺蟲劑可以殺死破壞殼物的蟲子和小動物,但從另一個角度來說,
它也可能破壞自然環境。
Suggestion:
I generally hear about the "other" side of the coin.
I have also heard "flip side" by itself, but this is more of an urban colloquialism.
