सेब और संतरा दोनों फल हैं, पर स्वाद, बनावट और उपयोग बिल्कुल अलग — इनकी तुलना ही बेमेल है। इसलिए apples and oranges = असमान तुलना।
Apples and oranges are both fruits, but their taste, texture and use are completely different, so comparing them makes no sense. That is why 'apples and oranges' means an unequal comparison.
