Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Proverbs 114. The proverb today is it
takes two to make a quarrel. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If someone
says it takes two to make a quarrel, it means that a quarrel is never just one
person's fault or is never just ... or there's never just one person involved.
So there's always two. If one of the two refuses to participate. It only takes one
to refuse. If one of the two refuses to participate in an argument there can be
no argument. Nobody's going to stand there and argue with themselves. So it takes ...
That's what we mean, but it takes two to make an argument. Okay. So let's take a look
at some examples here. Example number one. Don't let yourself get trapped in a
quarrel on the Internet, especially on the Internet like if somebody didn't
like something you posted or or you wrote or your said or something like
that. And they make some comments, especially somebody if if they're
anonymous. People that are anonymous they're braver because they're not
facing you directly. So, so and then of course if we get into an argument you'll
probably have a lot of back and forth, back and forth back forth . It's probably
not worth it. So that's what they're saying here. So don't let yourself get
trapped into a quarrel on the Internet it will just anger you and waste your
time and energy. It is very unlikely you can convince the other person of your
opinion. It is best to simply not respond. Remember it takes two to make a quarrel.
All right. That's the way we use it. Okay let's look at number two. Number two here.
We have an a/b . So A says don't argue with her. Just ignore what she says. And
then B says" hey I tried to do that she is the one who always starts don't
blame me. " You know don't point the finger that I'm
doing something wrong. You need to blame her as well. You know it takes two to
make an argument. So don't don't make it look like it's more my fault. Okay.
Anyway it's just the way you might hear it. I hope you got it. I hope it's clear.
Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
