我们今天的节目要讨论的表达方式是："It takes two to tango！"那么，让我们一起来看看这个表达吧。

Like the tango, some actions or activities take two people. You can't do them alone. Like a fight.

像探戈一样，有些动作或活动需要两个人完成。你一个人做不到。比如打架。

Fighting with yourself, whether a verbal argument or a fist fight, would look really silly!?And doing the tango by yourself might look silly too.

不管是口头争吵还是身体冲突，自己和自己打架看起来会非常愚蠢！同样地，独自跳探戈看起来也会很傻。

We often use the expression "it takes two to tango" to describe a situation, usually a difficult one, where two people or two parties are equally to blame.

After all, it takes two to tango. Sometimes we shorten this expression by leaving out the subject and say, "takes two to tango".

毕竟，孤掌难鸣。有时，我们省略主语，将此表述简化为"takes two to tango"。

Here are more examples. We need to work together on this problem, or we will never find a solution.

It also means that two people are involved in something. The expression "two can play at that game" means what one person does, another can do too.

也是指两个人都参与到某件事。这个表达是"two can play at that game"（你这一套我也会），意思是一个人会做某事，另一个人也会。

You shout, "Two can play at that game"! And then you throw a water balloon at them!

Usually we use this in an "I will get you back" kind of way. Here's an example.

Did he. Well, two can play at that game. I will invite the boss … to … karaoke night. I don't think the boss sings.

Oh. Football karaoke? I don't think that's a thing. But keep thinking.
