A: Definitely not. The most important thing was we loved each other.

第二、 地道表達(dá)

【地道短語(yǔ)】tickle someone’s funny bone

【解詞釋義】funny bone是指“尺骨端”，即通常說(shuō)的“麻經(jīng)兒”，這里是尺神經(jīng)極為敏感處，碰撞時(shí)產(chǎn)生的麻醉感。動(dòng)詞tickle的意思是“胳肢”，因此，此語(yǔ)的意思是“胳肢某人使得某人發(fā)笑”。

【支持范例】For 50 years,"Peanuts"has tickled America's funny bone.

50年來(lái)，《花生》逗得美國(guó)人發(fā)笑。
