[00:01.89] Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. I'm Rob.
[00:05.42] And hello I'm Li.
[00:06.97] Shh shh Li, quiet please. I need to concentrate, the race is about to finish and I've got a bet on. Yeah yeah. I've won. I've actually won. I'm rich.
[00:20.80] Well done Rob. So what have you won Rob?
[00:22.96] Ten pounds.
[00:24.46] Oh just ten pounds. Ah well, that's quite useful actually.
[00:30.35] Oh, is it. Why is that?
[00:32.55] Well, you owe me five pounds and you did say you would buy me a glass of champagne if you won a race.
[00:40.18] Oh right, did I? So, that will leave me with. 50 pence. Maybe I'm not a winner after all. Honestly! Every time I make some money I have to give it away.
[00:53.10] Sorry Rob, it's a no-win situation or a lose-lose situation. Rob, you can't gain any money because you'll always lose it on something else.
[01:04.49] So even though I did win something, I have also lost. So that's a no-win situation is it?
[01:11.36] I'm afraid it is. A no-win situation is one in which a favourable outcome is impossible. You are bound to lose whatever you do.
[01:21.30] You can also use this phrase to describe situations that aren't just to do with money, like this.
[01:28.20] I can get the bus or train to work, either way I'm going to be late. It's a no-win situation.
[01:36.40] The cafe only served ham or beef sandwiches but as a vegetarian I was in a no-win situation.
[01:43.15] If she helps in the garden, Mum won't be pleased and if she helps in the kitchen, Dad won't be pleased. She really is in a no-win situation.
[01:55.34] So a no-win situation is one that is certain to end in failure and disappointment. So Rob I can see you are disappointed because you have spent your winnings on me.
[02:08.36] Um, I am I'm afraid. It seems impossible to win money just for myself.
[02:14.40] Actually I also won some money, 50 pounds, so I'll buy you a drink, in fact I'll buy you something to eat too and you don't need to pay me back that five pounds.
[02:28.17] Really? Li that's very kind of you. So now I'm in a win-win situation.
[02:34.80] Yes, the opposite of a no-win situation is a win-win situation. This is where there is a favourable outcome for everyone involved. Like this.
[02:45.94] The house buyer got a good price and the seller was happy to sell quickly so it was a win-win situation.
[02:53.70] If I get to invest your money in the company and you get to share the profits, it's a win-win situation.
[03:01.79] So, in a win-win situation everyone is happy. Just like our situation now. So, where are you taking me for dinner Li?
[03:10.31] Did I say dinner? I was just going to buy you a sandwich.
[03:15.32] Oh. That's not such a good win-win situation, is it?
[03:19.51] Maybe I'll buy you some chips too.
[03:21.89] OK great. Come on then, let's go. Bye bye.
[03:25.74] Bye bye.
