When I called my mom during my lunch break, I could only talk briefly because I had to get back to work. I quickly told her about my day and promised to call again later when I had more time. Even a brief conversation is better than no conversation at all.
当我在午休时给我妈妈打电话时,我只能简短地说话,因为我必须回去工作。我快速告诉她我的一天,并承诺稍后有时间时再打电话。即使简短的对话也比没有对话好。
