HSK 6
X来X去，都是/就是⋯⋯
X来X去，都是/就是⋯⋯
Explanation
The structure 'X来X去，都是/就是⋯⋯' is used to emphasize that no matter how much an action or matter is repeated (expressed through the part X来X去, e.g. '争来争去' - arguing back and forth, '说来说去' - talking back and forth), the final result remains unchanged, usually carrying a negative meaning or no progress. The part '都是/就是⋯⋯' states the inevitable result or conclusion, emphasizing the pointless, repetitive nature of the matter. Example: '不管我们怎么争来争去，都是没有用的' (No matter how we argue back and forth, it's all useless).
