展开英文短文,再悬停查词
Mina sends Haru a message: “Are we meeting at three?”
Haru is online, but there is no reply. Mina thinks, “Is he angry?” She wants an answer right away. The silence feels long, but Haru is probably busy.
An hour later, Haru writes, “Sorry. I was helping my little brother.”
The green online mark does not always mean “I am free.” Sometimes it is better to wait than to make a story in your head.

查看中文译文
Mina 给 Haru 发消息:“我们三点见面,对吗?”
Haru 显示在线,却没有回复。Mina 心想:“他生气了吗?”她想立刻得到答复。等待似乎格外漫长,但 Haru 很可能只是在忙。
一小时后,Haru 回消息说:“对不起,我刚才在帮弟弟。”
绿色的在线标记并不总表示“我现在有空”。有时候,与其胡乱猜测,不如耐心等一等。
