Грамблер, а у hold есть такое значение?

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago

People, SQUABBLE and QUARREL (as verbs) are words that we use very seldom - they're someone old. We use them when we want to be humorous or downplay the severity of a situation. Today we use ARGUE and FIGHT.

Andrey: you don't need AMONG THEMSELVES. Also the whole statement sounds like something a judge would say during a trial.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago

Elena, "picking A quarrel" only has on participant... somebody says or does things to antagonize the other person, who can either play into it or ignore it altogether. So it's not effective here.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago

Grumbler, falling out doesn't necessarily involve an argument or a fight - one person just stops speaking to the other.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago

Also, you don't "hold somebody from something," you KEEP them from DOING something.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago

PREVENT is a little too formal for this statement.

Anytime, Margarita)))

А я больше шарю в канцелярском, так как работаю с ним каждый день. Хотел написать сначала keep them from squabbling, но до arguing в этом контексте точно бы не додумался. Улий, спасибо. Удалить думаешь?

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago

Да нет, грамотно же, только немного формально и among themselves лишнее.

@"Grumbler, falling out doesn't necessarily involve an argument or a fight - one person just stops speaking to the other."

I agree, but one of the meanings of "поссориться" is "to fall out" - https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/поссориться
So, I can imagine that "удержать их от ссоры" can mean "keep from falling out"

Deleted my translation regardless - because of "hold"
