（五）范文

Yeah, I actually do. I know it sounds a little vain, but I can’t help glancing at myself in the mirror every time I walk past one. I’m the kind of person who always needs to check that my hair isn’t messy, my clothes look okay, and I don’t have anything weird on my face. It makes me feel more put-together and confident when I’m heading out to meet people. I guess it’s just a little habit I’ve picked up over the years.

翻译：对呀，我确实喜欢。我知道这听起来有点虚荣，但每次路过镜子我都忍不住瞥一眼自己。我是那种总需要确认头发没乱、衣服看起来整齐、脸上没沾奇怪东西的人。出门见人的时候，照完镜子我会觉得自己更整洁、也更自信。我猜这就是我多年来养成的一个小习惯罢了。

Oh yeah, definitely. When I first moved into my dorm last year, I quickly realized there wasn’t a full-length mirror anywhere, so I ordered one online right away. I use it literally every single day when I’m picking out my outfits, it’s so useful. I also bought a tiny compact mirror to keep in my handbag, for touching up my lipstick when I’m out. Both were really cheap, totally worth the money.

翻译：哦当然买过。去年我刚搬进宿舍的时候，很快发现整个宿舍都没有全身镜，所以我立刻上网下单了一块。我选衣服的时候每天都会用到它，真的太实用了。我还买了一个小小的便携化妆镜放在手提包里，出门的时候可以补口红。两个都很便宜，花的钱完全值得。

Yeah, most of the time I do. I keep that little compact mirror I mentioned earlier in my handbag 24/7. It’s really small and light, so it doesn’t take up any space at all. Whenever I’ve been walking around outside on a windy day, or I need to touch up my lipstick after lunch, it’s a total lifesaver. I don’t think I’ve left home without it for ages, it’s become a bit of a must-have for me.

翻译：对呀，大部分时候我都会带。我之前提到的那个小化妆镜一直放在我的手提包里。它又小又轻，所以完全不占地方。大风天在外面走了之后，或是吃完午饭要补口红，它真的太救急了。我已经好久没出门不带它了，它已经成了我的必需品了。

（五）范文

Absolutely, I actually think that mirrors are one of the best decor pieces you can have, especially for a small room like mine. My dorm is pretty tiny, but putting a big full-length mirror on the wall makes the whole space feel way bigger and brighter than it actually is. It’s such a simple trick to make the room feel more open. I’ve also seen some really pretty decorative mirrors with fancy frames online that would look amazing above a desk, I’d definitely consider buying one if I ever redecorate.

翻译：当然会，我真的觉得镜子是最好的装饰单品之一，尤其是像我这样的小房间。我的宿舍特别小，但是在墙上挂一块大全身镜之后，整个空间都比实际看起来更大更亮了。这是让房间显得更开阔的小妙招。我还在网上见过一些带精美边框的好看装饰镜，挂在书桌上方会特别好看，如果我重新装修房间的话肯定会考虑买一块。

2.The email was aimed at asking for clarification about the entry requirements of his advanced environmental science module.那封邮件是为了向他咨询高级环境科学模块的入学要求细节。

3.At first I thought my email might have been accidentally filtered into the junk mail folder, so I resent a copy three days later.一开始我以为我的邮件可能被不小心归类到垃圾邮件文件夹里了，所以三天后我又重发了一份。

4.It was almost two full weeks before I finally got his detailed reply, which came as a huge relief to me.整整过了两周我才最终收到他的详细回复，这让我大大松了一口气。

5.During that wait, I went from mild puzzlement to genuine anxiety, constantly checking my inbox every time I unlocked my phone.等待的那段时间里，我从最初的些许困惑慢慢变成了真的焦虑，每次解锁手机都要反复查看收件箱。

6.Later I learned he had been tied up with an unexpected international academic conference that took place overseas, so all his non-urgent emails fell through the cracks.后来我才知道他当时忙着去海外参加一场临时安排的国际学术会议，所有非紧急的邮件都被暂时搁置遗漏了。

7.That experience taught me that people are usually swamped with all sorts of unplanned tasks, and non-response does not equal indifference.那次经历让我明白，大家往往会被各种突发的事务占满时间，没有回复并不代表对方漠不关心。

8.I also realised that following up politely after a proper interval is a much better choice than jumping to negative conclusions.我也意识到，在合适的间隔之后礼貌地跟进，远比直接下负面结论要好得多。

四、答题思路

1.开篇引入：直接点明事件的核心背景——发给谁、大致的时间场景，比如学期初给意向选修课程的海外教授发咨询邮件，快速建立叙事的代入感。

2.内容说明：清晰解释邮件的具体内容和发信的初衷，说明这件事对你的重要性：比如你想要申请进入他的限量选修课程，需要确认特殊申请流程、补充材料要求，这件事直接影响你整个学期的学业规划。

3.等待过程：描述等待期间的状态变化：头三天你还耐心等待，之后开始反复检查邮箱、担心邮件被拦截，一周之后你甚至开始脑补是不是自己的表述不够得体、教授不愿意接收你，中间你礼貌地发了一次跟进消息，依然石沉大海，这段忐忑的状态可以细化动作和心理，让内容更真实。

4.揭晓结果：说明最终收到回复的契机：教授结束了连轴转的海外学术出差，赶在课程申请截止的最后一天夜里给你回了长信，详细解答了所有疑问，还为自己的迟复诚恳道歉。

5.感受阐述：从两个维度谈感悟：一方面等待的焦灼让你印象深刻，但另一方面你也学会了不要在信息不全的时候随意判定对方的态度，同时也养成了重要邮件设置已读回执、关键事项提前预留充足缓冲时间的习惯，这次迟复的经历反而让你在人际沟通和时间规划上有了新的认知。

五、口语范文

Last year, I sent a carefully drafted formal email to a renowned geography professor at my university, who I had been hoping to study under for a long time. At that point, I was preparing to apply for his competitive field research module, which only accepted 12 students every year. The email laid out my past research experience on rural ecotourism, attached my previous course paper, and asked for detailed guidance on the additional application documents, as I had heard there was an unwritten assessment rule that was not listed on the official course notice.

 

I sent the email on a Monday morning, and checked my inbox every few hours at the beginning. Three days passed without a single sign of reply, and I started to wonder if my message had been mistakenly filtered into the spam folder. I resent the email with a tiny polite note to remind him, and then waited for another whole week, still nothing. I was on tenterhooks during those days: I kept overthinking if I had used the wrong tone in the email, or if he simply thought my application qualification was too poor to deserve a response. I even considered giving up applying for that module and turning to another ordinary course instead.

 

It was not until 14 days after I sent the original email that I received his reply at nearly midnight. He explained in the mail that he had been arranged to lead an emergency field survey team to a remote nature reserve in northwest China right after I sent my message, and there was almost no stable internet access in the mountain area the whole time. When he got back to the campus, he spent a whole day clearing his work backlog, and found my email at the bottom of his unread list. Not only did he answer every one of my questions in great detail, he even gave me extra advice on how to polish my personal statement to stand out among hundreds of applicants. I successfully got into his research group later that semester.

 

Looking back on that experience, the long wait did make me feel extremely anxious and frustrated for quite a while, but it also taught me a really valuable lesson. I used to assume that if someone did not reply to my message in time, he must be ignoring me on purpose. But now I understand that people can easily get overwhelmed by unexpected, urgent tasks that are completely out of their control. This experience made me much more patient and rational when facing non-response in later communications, and I will always leave a far longer buffer period for important matters from then on.

 

参考翻译：去年，我给我们学校一位我仰慕已久的知名地理学教授发了一封措辞精心的正式邮件。当时我正准备申请他那门竞争激烈的实地研究模块，这门课每年只接收12名学生。那封邮件里我梳理了自己过去在乡村生态旅游方向的研究经历，附上了我之前写的课程论文，还向他咨询了补充申请材料的详细指导——我听说这门课有一条没有写在官方通知里的非公开评审规则。

 

我周一早上发出了邮件，最开始每隔几个小时就会查看一次收件箱。三天过去没有任何回复的迹象，我开始怀疑自己的消息是不是被误分到了垃圾邮件文件夹里。我重新发送了邮件，还附了一句礼貌的提示语，之后又等了整整一周，依然没有任何音信。那段时间我一直如坐针毡：我反复纠结是不是邮件里的语气不得体，又或者他单纯觉得我的申请资质太差，根本不值得回复。我甚至一度打算放弃申请这门课，转而选一门普通的课程。

 

直到我发出原始邮件的第14天，将近午夜的时候我才收到他的回复。他在邮件里解释说，我发完消息之后，他就被安排带领一支紧急实地考察队前往中国西北的一处偏远自然保护区，在山里的那段时间几乎全程没有稳定的网络信号。回到学校之后，他花了一整天时间处理积压的工作，才在未读邮件列表的底部找到了我的邮件。他不仅非常细致地回答了我的每一个问题，还额外给了我建议，教我怎么打磨个人陈述，才能在数百名申请者里脱颖而出。那个学期晚些时候，我成功加入了他的研究小组。

 

回望那次经历，漫长的等待确实有好长一段时间让我无比焦虑沮丧，但它也给我上了非常宝贵的一课。过去我总认为如果有人没有及时回复我的消息，一定是在故意无视我。但现在我明白，人们很容易被完全超出掌控的突发紧急事务弄得忙不过来。这段经历让我之后在沟通中面对未回复的情况时，变得更加耐心和理性，从那以后，我也总会为重要的事情预留出长得多的缓冲时间。

Part 3 

一、In what situations do people spend a long time responding to others' messages?

（一）核心词汇

strategic策略性的；formulate 构思；professional专业的；sensitive敏感的；etiquette 礼仪；ambiguity歧义

（二）核心短语

work-related messages 工作相关消息；craft a response 精心构思回复；avoid misunderstanding 避免误解；high-stakes conversation 高风险沟通；compose a careful reply 撰写谨慎回复

（三）常用句

1.People usually take ages to reply when the message is about important work stuff.

2.It takes time to make sure the wording is polite and appropriate when talking to a senior leader.

3.If the topic is really sensitive, you have to think twice before hitting send.

（四）答题思路

先从工作场景切入：重要正式工作沟通需要斟酌用词，避免出错；再讲私人敏感场景：比如拒绝邀请、谈论感情问题，需要考虑对方感受，避免尴尬；最后补充和长辈/上级沟通，需要符合礼仪规范，所以会花时间调整语气。

（五）范文

I think the most common situation is when the message is work-related and super important. If you're replying to your CEO or a potential client about a project proposal, you can't just dash off a quick text—you need to carefully craft every sentence to make sure you sound professional, and there's no room for ambiguity that could cause problems later. Another time is when the topic is sensitive, like if a friend asks you for advice on a really tough personal issue, or you have to turn down someone's invitation politely. You don't want to hurt their feelings, so you have to think really hard about the right way to phrase it. Speaking for myself, I always take way longer to reply to my boss than to my buddies for exactly these reasons.

翻译：我觉得最常见的情况是消息和工作相关，而且非常重要。如果你要给CEO或者潜在客户回复项目提案，你没办法随便写两句就发出去——你得仔细斟酌每一句话，确保听起来专业，也不会留下可能引发后续问题的歧义。另一种情况是话题比较敏感，比如朋友就棘手的个人问题问你建议，或是你需要礼貌拒绝别人的邀请。你不想伤害对方的感情，所以必须好好想清楚该怎么组织语言。就我自己而言，给老板回复永远比给朋友发消息花的时间多，原因就是这些。

二、In what situations do people not respond to messages right away?

（一）核心词汇

distracted 分心的；prioritise 优先处理；inconvenient 不方便的；unimportant 不重要的；inappropriate 不合适的

（二）核心短语

in the middle of a meeting 正在开会；low-priority message 低优先级消息；bad timing 时机不对；forget to reply 忘记回复；switch focus 转移注意力

（三）常用句

1.Most people won't reply immediately if they're in the middle of work or a class.

2.If the message isn't urgent, people usually leave it for later and reply when they're free.

3.Sometimes people see the message when they're out, but they don't want to type a long reply on a small phone, so they wait until they get home.

（四）答题思路

首先说场景冲突：正在忙其他更重要的事（开会、上课、开车），没办法分神回复；然后说消息优先级：非紧急不重要的消息，会被排在后面处理；再补充特殊情况：消息内容需要长时间回复，当下不方便打字，所以延后回复；最后提有时候人们单纯就是忘记了。

（五）范文

Well, the first situation that comes to mind is when people are busy with something that takes their full attention. Like if you're sitting in an important meeting, or having a face-to-face dinner with your family, it's just rude to pull out your phone and reply to a message straight away. Also, if the message isn't urgent at all, most people will prioritise whatever they're doing first and get back to the sender later. I do this a lot actually—if I get a message from a friend asking me to plan a trip in a couple of months, I'll see it when I'm finishing work, and I think "I'll reply properly this weekend when I have time to check my schedule", and sometimes I even forget until they remind me. Another case is when you get a message at a really bad time, like when you're about to fall asleep, you just don't want to be disturbed, so you leave it for the next day.

翻译：嗯，我首先想到的情况就是人们正在忙需要全神贯注的事。比如你正在开重要的会，或是和家人面对面吃饭，这时候掏出手机马上回复消息真的很不礼貌。另外，如果消息一点也不紧急，大多数人都会先优先处理手上的事，之后再回发给发件人。其实我经常这样——如果朋友发消息让我计划几个月后的旅行，我下班的时候看到，就会想“我这周末有空查日程的时候再好好回”，有时候甚至会忘，直到对方提醒我才记起来。还有一种情况就是你在很不巧的时间收到消息，比如你正要睡觉，你根本不想被打扰，所以就留到第二天再回。

三、What would you do if you haven't received a reply after sending out a message?

（一）核心词汇

assume 假设；overwhelmed应接不暇的；resend 重发；follow up 跟进；polite 礼貌的；private 私人的

（二）核心短语

give them the benefit of the doubt 姑且相信对方；chase for a reply 催促回复；drop a gentle reminder 发一个温和的提醒；resend the original message 重发原消息；respect their space 尊重对方空间

（三）常用句

1.First I'll assume they're just really busy and haven't had time to get back to me.

2.If it's not urgent, I'll just wait for a couple of days before doing anything.

3.If it's really important, I'll send a short polite message to remind them I'm waiting for a reply.

（四）答题思路

先分情况讨论：如果消息不紧急，就先等待，默认对方是忙忘了没看到，不打扰对方；如果消息很紧急或者很重要，就发一条温和的提醒，不要显得催促施压；如果过了很久还是没回复，又是工作相关就换其他联系方式（打电话、发邮件），如果是私人就不再追问，给对方留空间。

（五）范文

It really depends on how urgent the message is. If I just sent a casual message asking a friend to catch up, or something that's not time-sensitive at all, I won't do anything straight away. I just assume they're swamped with work or they've seen it and forgotten to reply, so I'll wait a few days, I don't want to pester them. But if the message is about something important, like I need an answer from a colleague to finish my project by a deadline, then after one or two days I'll send a really gentle follow-up message, just saying "hey, I know you're super busy, just wanted to check if you got my last message"—that's polite, not pushy at all. If I still don't hear back after that and it's really urgent, I'll just give them a quick call instead, because that's faster.

翻译：这其实要看消息紧不紧急。如果我只是发了一条随便的消息约朋友见面，或是完全不赶时间的事，我不会马上做什么。我就会默认他们工作太忙，或是看到了忘了回，所以我会等几天，我不想纠缠着对方。但如果消息是关于重要的事，比如我需要同事的答复才能在截止日期前完成项目，那等个一两天之后我会发一条非常温和的跟进消息，就说“嗨，我知道你特别忙，就是问问你收到我上一条消息了吗”——这样既礼貌，一点也不咄咄逼人。如果之后还是没收到回复，而且事情真的紧急，我就会直接打个短电话，毕竟打电话更快。

四、Why do some people prefer sending a message instead of making a call?

（一）核心词汇

intrusive 打扰的；flexible 灵活的；disturb 打扰；documentation 记录；asynchronous 不同步的；convenient 方便的

（二）核心短语

avoid interrupting others 避免打断别人；leave a written record 留下文字记录；respond at one's convenience 在方便的时候回复；cut off small talk 省去闲聊；drop a message 留个消息

（三）常用句

1.Calls can interrupt people when they're busy, but messages don't.

2.Messages let you reply whenever you have free time, which is much more flexible.

3.Many people feel awkward making small talk on the phone, so they prefer messaging.

（四）答题思路

第一个原因：不打扰对方，打电话是同步沟通，会打断对方当下的安排，发消息可以让对方在方便的时候回复，更灵活；第二个原因：方便记录，文字消息可以留存重要信息（地址、时间、要求），不用特意记笔记；第三个原因：心理因素，很多人不喜欢电话里的寒暄，觉得有压力，发消息可以思考了再回复，更放松，也省去不必要的闲聊。

（五）范文

I think the biggest reason is that messaging is way less intrusive than calling. If you call someone out of the blue, you have no idea what they're doing—they could be in a meeting, sleeping, or spending time with their family, and your call just interrupts whatever they're focused on. But if you send a message, they can check it and reply when they have a spare minute, no pressure at all. Another big advantage is that you have a written record of everything. If you're talking about meeting time, address or work requirements, you can just go back and check the message if you forget, instead of trying to remember what was said on the call. And for a lot of people, myself included, phone calls feel really awkward—you have to do all that awkward small talk at the start, and you can't think twice before you speak like you can with a message. That's why I almost always message first unless it's super urgent.

翻译：我觉得最大的原因是发消息比打电话打扰少太多了。如果你突然给别人打电话，你根本不知道对方在做什么——他们可能在开会、睡觉，或是陪家人，你的电话会打断他们正在专注做的事。但如果你发消息，他们可以有空的时候再看再回，完全没有压力。另一个大优势就是所有内容都有文字记录。如果你们聊的是见面时间、地址或是工作要求，你忘了的话直接翻回去看消息就行，不用费劲回忆电话里说过什么。而且对很多人来说，包括我，打电话真的很尴尬——开头总得说些尴尬的寒暄，而且你没办法像发消息一样想清楚再说话。这就是为什么除非事情特别紧急，我几乎永远先发消息。

五、Are you more polite when sending a message to a stranger than to a friend?

（一）核心词汇

acquaintance熟人；boundary边界；formality礼节；casual随意的；comfort 舒适；impression印象

（二）核心短语

build a good first impression 留下好的第一印象；close circle of friends 亲密朋友圈；use formal language 使用正式语言；cut out unnecessary phrases 省去多余的客套；social convention 社交惯例

（三）常用句

1.Absolutely, I'm much more polite when messaging someone I don't know well.

2.With friends, we can be really casual and even use silly slang, it's totally fine.

3.Strangers don't know my personality yet, so I need to be polite to avoid giving them the wrong idea.

（四）答题思路

明确回答是的，解释原因：首先是社交距离，和陌生人不熟，还没有建立舒适的相处模式，需要保持礼节，留下好的第一印象；其次，和朋友之间已经有默契，说话可以很随意，不用客套，甚至会用开玩笑的语气，反而显得更亲近；最后补充，哪怕不是完全陌生，只是普通同事或熟人，也会比和好朋友说话更注意礼貌，这是基本的社交距离。

（五）高分范文（含翻译）

Yeah, definitely, I'm way more polite when I'm messaging a stranger than a close friend. When you're talking to someone you've never met before, or only know professionally, you don't have that established comfort level with each other, so you have to be careful with your wording to make sure you don't come off as rude or too pushy. I always add "please" and "thank you" and use more formal phrasing, because I want to give a good first impression. But when I chat with my best friends, we're super casual—we skip all the polite phrases, use all kinds of silly slang, even send each other half-finished sentences because we know what the other means. If I talked to a stranger like that, they'd probably think I'm incredibly rude, right? So yeah, the level of politeness totally changes depending on who you're talking to.

翻译：对，当然，我给陌生人发消息比给好朋友发消息礼貌太多了。当你和从没见过的人聊天，或是只在工作上认识，你们之间还没有建立那种舒适的相处感，所以你得注意用词，确保不会显得粗鲁或是太咄咄逼人。我总会加上“请”和“谢谢”，用更正式的表达，因为我想留下好的第一印象。但我和最好的朋友聊天的时候，我们特别随意——我们省去所有客套话，用各种没那么正经的俚语，甚至发半句不完整的句子，因为我们都懂对方是什么意思。如果我和陌生人也这么说话，他们大概会觉得我非常没礼貌，对吧？所以没错，礼貌的程度完全取决于你在和谁聊天。

六、How do you show your respect in your messages?

（一）核心词汇

courtesy礼貌；acknowledge回应；prompt 及时的；address称呼；typo打字错误；considerate体贴的

（二）核心短语

reply in a timely manner 及时回复；use proper greeting and address 使用合适的问候和称呼；check for typos 检查错别字；avoid sending messages at late hours 避免深夜发消息；credit the original source 注明原来源（转消息时）

（三）常用句

1.The easiest way to show respect is to reply to people's messages as soon as you can.

2.I always make sure I use the right title when I message someone who's older than me or my superior.

3.I don't send really long voice messages if the other person prefers text, that's respectful of their preference.

（四）答题思路

分几个方面说：第一，基本礼仪：及时回复，不让对方等太久，用合适的称呼和问候，结尾礼貌收尾；第二，细节体贴：不在对方休息的时间发消息，不发大段没分段的文字或是很长的语音，尊重对方的沟通习惯；第三，内容严谨：重要消息检查错字，表达清晰不模棱两可，转发内容注明来源，这些细节都能体现尊重。

（五）范文

To me, showing respect in messages is all about small, thoughtful details. First of all, I think the most basic thing is replying in a timely manner. If someone takes the time to send you a message, ignoring it for days is just rude, so I always try to get back to people within 24 hours at most. Second, I pay attention to proper greeting and addressing—if I'm writing to my professor or my boss, I'll use their last name with their title, like "Professor Li", instead of just calling their first name which would be too casual. I also try to avoid doing things that I know would inconvenience them: I never send multiple long voice messages unless they say it's okay, because I know a lot of people can't listen to voice notes when they're out in public, and it's much harder to check than text. I also always proofread my messages to fix typos before sending, especially for work messages—It just shows you care enough to put in a little effort.

翻译：对我来说，在消息里体现尊重全靠贴心的小细节。首先，我觉得最基本的就是及时回复。既然别人花时间给你发了消息，好几天不回本身就很没礼貌，所以我尽量最多24小时之内就回对方。第二，我会注意合适的问候和称呼——如果我给教授或是老板发消息，我会用姓氏加头衔，比如“李教授”，而不是直接喊名字，那样太随便了。我也会尽量避免做我知道会给对方带来不便的事：除非对方说没问题，我绝对不会发好几条长语音，因为我知道很多人在公共场合没办法听语音，而且语音比文字难查多了。发之前我也总会校对改错别字，尤其是工作消息——这就能体现你愿意花一点心思，足够重视这件事。

七、Why do some people feel angry when others don't reply to their message?

（一）核心词汇

dismissive轻视的；invalid 不被重视的；expectation 预期；urgent紧急的；self-esteem自尊；ignorance忽视

（二）核心短语

feel ignored 感觉被忽视；question their self-worth 质疑自我价值；need an urgent answer 需要紧急答复；feel disrespected 感觉不被尊重；unmet expectation 未满足的预期

（三）常用句

1.People get angry because they feel like the other person doesn't care about them or their question.

2.If you need an answer right away to get something done, waiting for a reply that never comes is really frustrating.

3.Some people think that seeing the message and not replying is a deliberate snub.

（四）答题思路

第一个原因：心理层面，人们会觉得已读不回就是不重视自己，是故意冷落，伤害了自尊，感觉不被尊重；第二个原因：实际需求层面，如果消息很紧急，需要对方回复才能推进事情，一直不回会耽误事，所以会生气；第三个原因：预期不符，有些人默认收到消息就应该尽快回，对方不回就打破了自己的预期，所以产生负面情绪。

（五）范文

I think the main reason is that they feel ignored and disrespected. These days, almost everyone has their phone on them all the time, so a lot of people assume that if you've seen their message, you just don't care enough to reply, and that makes people feel really bad—it hurts their self-esteem, like their message or even they themselves aren't important enough to respond to. Especially if it's a message asking for a favour or something emotional, like you share good news with a friend and they just don't reply at all, you'd definitely feel a bit upset, right? Another reason is if the message is really urgent. If you need a reply from someone to finish an important project that's due today, and they just leave you on read, that's going to make you late or cause you problems at work, so of course you'd be angry. It's not just about the ignoring, it's about the real trouble it causes you.

翻译：我觉得主要原因就是他们感觉被忽视、不被尊重。现在几乎每个人都天天带着手机，所以很多人会默认，如果你看到了消息，就是懒得回、不够重视，这会让人们很难受——伤害了他们的自尊，会让他们觉得自己的消息甚至他们本人都重要到不值得回复。尤其是如果消息是求助或是涉及情绪的内容，比如你给朋友分享了好消息，他们完全不回，你肯定会有点难过，对不对？另一个原因就是如果消息真的很紧急。如果你需要对方的答复才能赶在今天做完重要项目，结果他们已读不回，这会让你迟到，或是给你工作惹麻烦，所以你当然会生气。这不只是被忽视的问题，还会给你带来实实在在的麻烦。
