英語笑話:Poisonous Juice 有毒果汁
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(jié)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(shè)應(yīng)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(fù)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。”
