　　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?"
        　　"Do you think there are differences between the two?" his friend asked.
        　　"Yes, quite a lor. 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."
        　　许诺还是威胁?
        　　“听我说，朋友，我遇上麻烦了。”一个男人对他的朋友说，
        　　“昨天我和妻子吵了一架，他她怒气冲冲地摔门走了，并声明说她要和她母亲住在一起。你替我想想，这是许诺，还是威胁呢?”
        　　“这两者有什么区别吗?”朋友问。
        　　“不，区别太大了。如果它是承诺的话，那就是说它肯定是要和她妈妈一起住;
        　　要是威胁呢，那就意味着我岳母要搬到我家来住。”
