Two wrongs donnot make a right "Two wrongs don't make a right" means that it is never right to wrong someone, even if they have wronged you first. Their "wrong" plus your "wrong" together would not make a "right."
两个错误不会铸就一个正确.
意思是,当有人先对你做错误的事情时,你不能以牙还牙的方式,以另外一个错误去还击别人.例如："That boy pushed me yesterday and I am going to get him back today!" Answer: "No you are not! Two wrongs do not make a right."

人的一生会遇到很多悬而未决的事,比如大学能否考取、演讲比赛能否拿名次、生意的单子是否能签、投标是否能中……这种还不知道结果的事在英语中叫“a toss-up”.
“A toss-up”这种说法是从扔硬币做决定那里引申而来.有的人在拿不定主意的时候,会扔硬币决定,正面就做,反面不做.当硬币还没落地的时候,做与不做都各有一半的可能,也就是悬而未决.

"two wrongs don't make a right"
"Two wrongs don't make a right" means that it is never right to wrong someone, even if they have wronged you first. Their "wrong" plus your "wrong" together would not make a "right." Example: "That boy pushed me yesterday and I am going to get him back today!" Answer: "No you are not! Two wrongs do not make a right." Sometimes, when you have been wronged, you want to wrong that person back to make things "right"; but "two wrongs don't make a right" says that it is always "wrong" to answer one "wrong" with another "wrong." Example: "I don't want anyone on our team getting in a fight on the field today, even if the other person has fouled you first. Two wrongs do not make a right."
