英文笑话：承诺或威胁

【英文笑话】：承诺或威胁 Promise or threat

“My friend, I say I had some trouble.” A man said to his friend, “Yesterday I had words with my wife. After that she punched the door and rushed out angrily with the word that she would live with her mother. Please help me. Is this a promise or a threat?”

一名男子跟他朋友说：“我的朋友，我遇到了一些麻烦。昨天我和妻子吵架，她生气夺门而出，并说以后将会和她的母亲一起住。请帮我分析一下这是承诺还是威胁?”

“Do you think there are differences between the two?” his friend asked.

他朋友回答道：“你觉得这两者之间有什么区别吗?”

“Yes, quite a lot. If it is a promise, that means that my wife is sure to be with her mother, and if a threat, that my mother-in-law will move and live with us.

“是的，区别非常大。如果这是一个承诺，那就意味着我的妻子肯定要和她的母亲一起生活，可如果这是一个威胁，那我的岳母就会搬来跟我们一起住了。”
