641　That's a long time 这是一段漫长的时间

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.”

我和我的嫂子既震惊又恐惧地意识到，我们都已经结婚快50年了。我说：“这是一段漫长的时间。”她附和说：“非常非常长的时间。”然后她笑了。“我才想起一件事。”“什么事？”“如果当时按我心里想的把你哥哥杀了，现在我该可以从监狱里放出来了。”
