The video clip below can help you learn and remember how to use the words: borrow, lend, and rent, use. I like the quote the video starts with, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be.不做債主,也不做借貸人。"
The quote "Neither a borrower, nor a lender be" means not to lend [money] to other people and not to borrow from other people. When we lend something we risk losing both the thing we lend and the friendship with that other person.
The quote originated from Hamlet by William Shakespeare; Polonius spoke,"Neither a borrower, nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend"
Example
Your friend: "Could you lend me twenty dollars?"
You: "Sorry,neither a borrower nor a lender be."
You tell your friend that you value the friendship and you don't want to risk hurting the friendship with a loan.
Is it right to say, "Can I borrow your toilet?" ?
Watch the video and get the answer!
Watch and enjoy!
