Promise or Threat?   

"My friend, I say I had some trouble." A man said to his friend, "


yesterday I had words with my wife.

After that she punched the door and rushed out angrily with the word that she would live with her mother. Please help me.   

 
Is this a promise or a threat?"  

  
"Do you think there are differences between the two?" his friend asked.    

"Yes, quite a lor. If it is a promise, that means that my wife is sure to be with her mother, and if a threat, that my mother-in-law will move and live with us."    

         
许诺还是威胁?     

“听我说,朋友,我遇上麻烦了。”一个男人对他的朋友说,
“昨天我和妻子吵了一架,他她怒气冲冲地摔门走了,并声明说她要和她母亲住在一起。你替我想想,这是许诺,还是威胁呢?”   
“这两者有什么区别吗?”朋友问。  
“不,区别太大了。如果它是承诺的话,那就是说它肯定是要和她妈妈一起住;
要是威胁呢,那就意味着我岳母要搬到我家来住。”
