“拆东墙补西墙”，字面意思是“拆倒东边的墙，以修补西边的墙（tear down the east wall to mend the west wall）”，比喻寻求临时解决方案（resort to a makeshift solution）。亦比喻临时救急，不是根本办法，与英文“rob Peter to pay Paul”意思相近。
例句：
- 把资金从一个基金会抽到另一个基金会绝不是解决问题的办法，那不过是“拆东墙补西墙”罢了。
- It is no solution to the difficulty to transfer money from one fund to the other; that is merely robbing Peter to pay Paul.
