B1 Expression 中性

mettere pace

to make peace

意思

Ending a conflict between others.

🌍

文化背景

In Italian families, arguments can be loud and frequent, but they are often resolved quickly. The 'paciere' (peacemaker) is usually a respected figure like a grandmother or an older sibling. The concept of 'mettere pace' is linked to the Catholic beatitude 'Beati i pacifici' (Blessed are the peacemakers), making mediation a morally praised act. In the famous novel 'I Promessi Sposi', the character Fra Cristoforo is a classic example of someone who 'mette pace' in a violent society. On Italian social media, you'll often see users saying 'Mettiamo pace' to stop 'flame' (online arguments) in comment sections.

💡

The 'Tra' Rule

Always remember to use 'tra' or 'fra' after the phrase to specify who you are mediating between.

⚠️

Avoid 'Con'

Don't say 'mettere pace con [someone]' unless you are putting a physical object called 'peace' with them. Use 'tra' for people.
