    Wie übersetzt man diese Redewendung ins Englische.
    Bitte für UK. Meine Versuche mit wörtlicher Übersetzung sind oft gescheitert.
    Besser jemanden fragen, der Ahnung hat...

    you're translation is literal and acceptable.

    you could also say
    in life, you always meet twice for emphasis
    or
    in life you always meet a second time.

    those are just other idiomatic options

    Be nice to people on your way up. You might meet them again on your way down!

    You meet everybody twice - at least.

    @1: "you're translation" should be "your translation" and is totally unacceptable
