"Partner" could be refer to "wife" as chinese saying"伴侣" or "配偶". not just "性伙伴" or "情人"
Personally, I believe Jack used this word rather than "wife" because he wanted to express another meaning that Olivia Chow is not only his wife- -partner in life, but also partner of his career. They had been worked together to achieve their goal.
If interesting, there is a link regarding definition of partner: http://ardictionary.com/Partner/2012[url]http://ardictionary.com/Partner/2012[/url][/url]

you could be right, but "wife" is a plain word to everyone, why Jack didn't use this word, instead of using partner? in this context wife and partner means differently. disagree with you that this has something to do with party job, since it refers to a family environment. |
