答疑:enigmabachNow my brother is a wise and calm person. He is at one with himself. He recognizes when he has had too much alcohol to drink. So he accepted an offer for a ride home from a female friend.
At one time in the past, my brother had been in love with this woman. She is a great person -- kind, thoughtful and intelligent -- all good qualities rolled up into one. But sadly their relationship did not work. He always used to say "One of these days, I am going to marry this girl." But that never happened.
For one thing, she did not love him as much as he loved her. It was just one of those things. The situation was regrettable and my brother had to accept it. But even now, he considers her the one that got away.
However, they are still friends. And because my brother had been kind to her, she felt that one good turn deserves another. He was good to her and she wanted to help him in return. So she drove him home.
If my brother had driven home from the bar that night, his number would have been up. Something bad would have happened. Thankfully he made it home safely. And, he and the woman are back to square one. They are back to where they started – being friends.我弟弟是个聪明冷静的人。他独身一人。他意识到自己已经喝了太多酒。所以，他就接受了一个女性朋友的帮助，她开车把他送了回家。
过去，我弟弟曾经爱上这个女人。她很优秀，既善良体贴又很聪明，集所有的好品质于一身但可惜的是，他们的关系并没有进展。他过去常说：“将来总有一天我会娶这个女孩为妻”。可是，这还未实现。
一方面，是因为她爱他并不如他爱她那么深。这是命中注定的事。这种状况让人感到遗憾，我弟弟只能接受。但是即使到现在，他还认为她是他失去的那个人。
然而，他们还是朋友。而且因为我的弟弟对她很好，她觉得应该以德报德。他对她很好，她也想帮助他作为报答，所以就开车送他回家了。
如果我弟弟那晚从酒吧开车回家，那他就要完蛋了，可能会发生不好的事情。幸运的是他安全到家。而且他和那个女人回到原点。他们回到了最初的起点——成为了朋友。
