You go your way, I'll go mine.
用法说明
这句话表面上是说,你可以走宽广的大路,而我愿意走狭窄的独木桥。引申为各走各的路,各做各的事,互不干涉。往往用于两人关系决裂时,表示从此以后两人不再有任何关系;或者用于拒听他人的劝阻,表示要坚持自己的决定和做法,不希望对方进行干涉。
注:阳关道,在中国甘肃西南,是古代一条很宽阔的大路。
This sentence literally means that you can take the thoroughfare, but I'll pass my single-plank bridge, which is extended to say that you look after your own concern and leave one to my own affairs. It's usually used when the two sides have a break-up and express their determination to have nothing to do with each other; or it can be used to turn down someone's dissuasion and persist in his/her own decision and method of working without allowing other's interference.
Note: "阳关道(Yángguān Dào)"was a broad road in the south-east of Gansu Province in ancient China.
