A woman and her brother-in-law could never get along.

One day she said to him, "If you were my husband，I'd put poison in your juice?"

He replied, "If I were your husband, I'd drink that juice."

Notes:

1.A woman and her brother-in-law could never get along.

有個女人和她的小叔一直相處得不好。

"in law"是“在法律上”的意思，也就是說A若與B結婚，A的親人就成了B法律上的親戚。而非血緣上的親戚， 所以對B而言，A的 brother就是B的brother-in-law;A的mother，就成了B的mother-in-law。依此類推。

in-law n 姻親

get along 相處

2.One day she said to him, "If you were my husband，I'd put poison in your juice?"

有一天她對小叔說：“如果你是我丈夫，我會在你的果汁里放毒藥。”

在這個句子中，if之后是虛擬語氣，表示與現(xiàn)在事實相反的假設應用過去式，所以句中用you were及I'd(=I would),不論if后的主語是第幾人稱或單復數(shù)，be動同一律用were.如果If Tom were at home, I'd tell him.(如果湯姆在家，我會告訴他。)，事實上湯姆并不在家。

poison [?p??zn] n.毒藥

3.He replied, "If I were your husband, I'd drink that juice."

她的小叔回答：“如果我是你丈夫，我會喝了那果汁。”
