[誤] These people are in different situations, so we cannot adopt the policy of cutting with one knife in
dealing with them.

[正] These people are in different situations, so we cannot adopt the policy of cutting at one stroke in dealing
with them.

注：“一刀切”不是使用同一把刀切東西，而是比喻不顧實際情況的不同而採取相同的處理方法。stroke 在這裏指一刀切下去的動作，所以用作比喻非常形象。
