地道美语
A: This is the good life! We have it good don’t you think?

B: Yeah of course! Although, don’t you ever wonder what “could have been”?

A:What do you mean?

B:Well, sometimes I think of how things could have turned out if I had done things a little differently.

A: For example?

B: Like for example, if I hadn’t studied architecture, I would have become an artist like I wanted to.

A: I see. Yeah now that I think of it, I wouldn’t have gotten married if I hadn’t moved to this town and met Sally.

B: You see! Everything happens for a reason! We wouldn’t even have met if I hadn’t been in that car accident ten years ago!

A: Well, I have no regrets!

B: I’ll drink to that!
