To our shock and horror, my sister-in-law and I realized we had each been married nearly 50 years. “That's a long time,” I observed. “A long, long time,” she agreed. Then she smiled. “Something just occurred to me.” “What's that?” “If I had killed your brother the first time I felt like it, I'd be out of jail by now.”
我和我的嫂子既震驚又恐懼地意識到,我們都已經(jīng)結(jié)婚快50年了。我說:“這是一段漫長的時間。”她附和說:“非常非常長的時間。”然后她笑了?!拔也畔肫鹨患??!薄笆裁词??”“如果當時按我心里想的把你哥哥殺了,現(xiàn)在我該可以從監(jiān)獄里放出來了。”
