Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Proverbs 110. The proverb today is once bitten
-
twice shy. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here.
-
This proverb is said to describe someone who doesn't want to do something a
-
second time because he or she had a very bad or very terrible experience the
-
first time they did it. So, so you can imagine how it alludes... you know, how it
-
alludes to it. You know, almost as though you got bit by some animal. You know,
-
you'd be careful not to touch that animal again. So once bitten twice shy.
-
So you're twice as careful. All right. Let's continue. Let's take a look at the
-
first example here. I once dated a bad boy. All right now, if you say a bad boy
-
this is probably a guy that gets in trouble a lot, especially in trouble with
-
the law. Maybe he does a lot of criminal sort of activity. That's what we mean.
-
So some sometimes we see this on TV that maybe some girls are attracted to bad
-
boys. That's what they mean. That's the way they refer to them. So she says I
-
once dated a bad boy, but he ended up getting arrested. And is still in jail. I
-
went through hell with that relationship. Basically she's saying like never
-
again. Once bitten and twice shy. So she would never date that type of guy again.
-
So once she... once he experienced it. Once she learned it, she would never do that
-
again. So once bitten and twice shy. All right.
-
Let's look at number two here. The first time she ever got on a horse, something
-
made the horse nervous and she was thrown off. Yeah you know, we see this in
-
the movies. They jump up and some throw the person off. And a lot of times you
-
get hurt. Sometimes to get seriously hurt. She never dared to get on a horse again.
-
Once bitten and twice shy. So this is exactly how it could be used. Anyway I
-
hope you got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
