"Never the twain shall meet" = đôi này chẳng bao giờ gặp nhau -> nghĩa là quá khác biệt, không thể cùng tồn tại, cùng suy nghĩ.

Ví dụ 
Walkers will walk and drivers will always drive, and never the twain shall meet. I am incredulous (hoài nghi) such a plan is even being considered. It is a totally insane and very bad idea!

Both disastrous (tai hại) encounters (chạm trán) have demonstrated that after years of animosity (thù hận) it is not possible to return to the previous format for cooperation. Rudyard Kipling famously once wrote "east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet."

Paul and his wife Marion, a former Gardens usherette (người nữ chỉ chỗ ngồi), watch the Leafs on TV when they can, but he doesn’t perk up for the reading of goals and assists. "I hear them," Morris says of his successors (người kế vị). "But it’s hard to compare us. They do it their way, I did it mine and never the twain shall meet."
