As he lay on his deathbed, the man confided¹ to his wife, "I cannot die without telling you the truth. I cheated on you throughout our whole marriage. All those nights when I told you I was working late, I was with other women. And not just one woman either, but I've slept with dozens of them."

His wife looked at him calmly and said, "Why do you think I gave you the poison?"

　　他的妻子平静地看着他，说道：“你为什么没有想到是我给你下的毒药呢？”
