009 - A是A, B是B - learn spoken Chinese

this pattern shows two people/things are different and can't be regarded as the same.

Examples:

他是他,我是我,他虽然是我朋友,他犯的错可和我无关。
---> Though we are friends, I have nothing to do with his mistakes.

你这个人,说是说,做是做,从来不能让人相信。
---> You are such a person, what you do is never correspondent with what you say, I can never trust you.

甲:你昨天不是说要和我一起去的吗?
乙:昨天是昨天,今天是今天,现在我又不想去了。
--->
A. Didn't you say you were going with me yesterday?
B. Today is different from yesterday. I do not want to go today anyway.
