思路 1
Yes
是的
考官答案
Yes, waiting for a long time can be a problem, especially if it's unnecessary. Like, if a friend cancels on me and lets me know, that's okay, these things happen. However, if they don't show up and don't tell me for an hour, that's not okay. It's not so much the waiting that's an issue, but the fact they didn't consider my time. I consider myself patient, so waiting itself isn't usually a big deal for me.
是的,等待很長時間可能是個問題,尤其如果是不必要的。像是,如果朋友取消約會並告訴我,那沒問題,這種事情會發生。但如果他們不出現一個小時也不告訴我,那就不好了。問題不在於等待本身,而是他們沒有考慮我的時間。我覺得自己很有耐心,因此等待本身對我來說通常不是什麼大問題。
思路 2
No
考官答案
I don't really mind waiting, as long as I've got my phone with me. It's like having a mini entertainment center; I can play games, scroll through social media, or even catch up on my emails. So, a long wait doesn't bother me much. It's like a break where I can do my own thing.
我其實不介意等待,只要我有手機在身邊。就像有了一個迷你娛樂中心一樣;我可以玩遊戲、瀏覽社交媒體,甚至查看郵件。所以,漫長的等待並不會讓我困擾。這就像是一個讓我可以做自己事情的休息時間。
