此一时彼一时, this I know.  It means "當時有當時的情況，現在有現在的考量。”。

At that time, you may do that, now the situation change, you can't do the same thing.

Time change, you can't cope with it the same way.

 

我是高地不肯, I don't know.

this is probably a mistyped character （地 and 低）, because there really is no 高地不肯 in Chinese， However， there is a 高低不肯，which means “not at all willing （to do something）"

ex. 她高低不肯嫁到他家去。She's not at all willing to marry into his family.

but without the context i cant be sure.
I hope this helps.
