第一、迷你对话

我经常回忆起我和Tom热恋的日子。
B: Very romantic?
非常浪漫吗？

B: You married him for that reason.

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

第二、 地道表达
地道短语】tickle someone’s funny bone
解词释义】funny bone是指“尺骨端”，即通常说的“麻经儿”，这里是尺神经极为敏感处，碰撞时产生的麻醉感。动词tickle的意思是“胳肢”，因此，此语的意思是“胳肢某人使得某人发笑”。
支持范例】For 50 years,"Peanuts"has tickled America's funny bone.
50年来，《花生》逗得美国人发笑。

2. for that reason
