Shake Hands

A wife said this to her husband. "Honey, do you know how close I came to marrying Sam before I married you?"

He replied，"Now I know why he smiles and shakes my hand so warmly whenever we meet."

Notes:

1. A wife said this to her husband.

有一个妻子对他丈夫说。

2. "Honey, do you know how close I came to marrying Sam before I married you?"

“亲爱的，你知道我在嫁給你之前差点嫁给山姆吗?

句中的"come to"是表示“达到某种状态或结果”，其后的to是介词，后面要接动名词或名词，如：The plan came to nothing.计划落空了。

3. He replied，"Now I know why he smiles and shakes my hand so warmly whenever we meet."

他回答：“现在我终于知道我们每次见面，山姆为什么会微笑并与我热烈握手了。”

看来山姆对这位丈夫的感谢溢于言表，也许山姆在想：“你是我的救星!”
