Good morning!
Today's English expression is: it takes two to tango. It takes two to tango means that
when something goes wrong, both sides are involved (neither side is completely innocent).
Here is an example conversation:
Person A: My brother, Matthew, is always fighting with me…He won't leave me alone!
Person B: Have you tried ignoring him so that he has no one to fight with??
Person A: Well, no….I should try that.
Person B: Yes, you should try ignoring him because, you know, it takes two to tango.
If he has no one to fight with, then he won't be able to fight at all!
오늘의 표현은: it takes two to tango.
의미: "무슨 일이 잘못되었을 때, 양쪽 모두 관련이 있다(누구도 완전히 죄가 없지는 않다)" 라는 의미입니다.
A: My brother, Matthew, is always fighting with me…He won't leave me alone!
내동생 매튜는 항상 나와 싸우려고 해. 나를 혼자 내버려두질 않아.
B: Have you tried ignoring him so that he has no one to fight with??
동생의 행동을 무시해보려고 노력해봤니? 그럼 싸울 사람이 없게 될텐데.
A: Well, no….I should try that.
아니.. 한번 시도해봐야겠어.
B: Yes, you should try ignoring him because, you know, it takes two to tango.
If he has no one to fight with, then he won't be able to fight at all!
그래. 동생의 행위를 무시해 보려고 시도해 봐. 너도 알다시피. 손벽도 마주쳐야 소리가 나쟎니.
동생이 싸울 사람이 없으면, 그런 행동이 전혀 없어질 수도 있어.
