Oil and water don’t mix 水火不相容
Possible interpretation: If you add oil to water, the oil tries to stay separate. This proverb is a way of saying that certain people or characteristics do not go together. For example: James sees his friend, a girl named Andrea, in the student center. 场景：James看见他的一个朋友，名叫Andrea,在学生中心. James: Hey, Andrea. Where’s Rachel? I thought you guys were best buds. James:嗨，Andrea。Rachel呢？我知道你们二个总是形影不离的。 Andrea: Yeah, but not my BFF. It turns out oil and water don’t mix. Andrea: 是的，但现在他不是我最好的朋友了。我们二个现在闹掰了，水火不相容。（BFF是best friend forever的缩写。） Quick Quiz: You could say "oil and water don’t mix" about two people who a.don’t drink b.don’t get on together c.don’t look the same For answer b. |
