5. No Cell Phone Distraction 拒絕因手機而分心
No Cell Phone Distraction
Not too long ago, being present and engaged without distraction 1 throughout meetings or gatherings with your family, friends or colleagues was the courteous and respectful way to behave. Unfortunately, thanks to the advanced technology and more and more people owning a cell phone today, people can be very rude due to 2 too much cell phone distraction during a gathering with friends or a lunch with colleagues.
Without doubt 3, in some circumstances of emergency, accepting a call is allowed, but calling friends to gossip or catching up with someone you haven’t spoken to for a period of time on your cellphone is in poor taste.
First of all, you need to realize that talking on the phone during lunch with someone else is quite disrespectful. If you need to answer a call during the meal, do apologize in advance 4 and explain why you need to take the call. Most importantly of all, don’t forget to make the conversation on the cell phone short and to-the-point. Apart from keeping your cell phone conversation quiet, turning off your cell phone is always a polite thing to do. Voicemail exists for a sensible purpose. Your friends don’t have all the time to wait as you talk on the phone.
Playing online games on your cell phone in front of others during meals is even worse. Your behavior simply implies that spending time with them bores the pants off you 5. On the surface, they might show tolerance towards you 6, but as a matter of fact, such low-class behavior can only exhaust everyone’s patience 7 with you.
What if you are having lunch with people who feel compelled to use the cell phone all the time 8? Create a “no phone” policy and ask everyone to obey the rule 9. Turn off all phones at the beginning of a meal, or remove all the phones from the table so that all the phones are invisible. If anyone’s phone is ringing, don’t be shy to ask them to let it go to the voicemail. If your lunch date takes the phone call, wait an appropriate amount of time, as the call may be important.
Once you find that the conversation over the phone is simply gossiping and it’s obviously not going to end soon, get up from the table and gesture that you are going to leave. Leave a note that you want to reschedule. You don’t need to get tough with 10 them, but you should let them understand that your time is valuable.
【中文翻譯】
拒絕因手機而分心
還不算太久之前，在與家人、朋友或同事的會面或聚會時，毫不分心地專注心思，是有禮及尊重他人的行為，遺憾的是，拜先進的科技、以及現在越來越多人擁有手機之賜，與朋友聚會或與同事共進午餐時，人們因為手機分散了注意力，而非常無禮。
毫無疑問地，在某些緊急情況下，是可以接電話的，但是打電話給朋友聊八卦，或是跟一個有一陣子沒說話的朋友聊近況，就很沒品了。
首先，你必須明白，在跟別人吃午飯時講手機是非常不尊重人的。如果你需要在用餐時接手機，一定要事先道歉，並說明你為何必須接這通電話。最重要的是，別忘了手機上的談話一定要簡明扼要。除了講手機時音量要小之外，把手機關機往往是應有的禮節。語音信箱之所以存在，是有其實用的目的。你的朋友可沒有整天的時間等你講電話。
用餐時在他人面前用手機玩線上遊戲更糟糕。你的行為就是在暗示其他人：花時間跟他們在一起實在讓你無聊到極點。表面上，他們可能對你很包容，但實際上，如此沒水準的行為只會讓每個人對你忍無可忍。
如果你要跟總是覺得非用手機不可的人一起用餐，又該怎麼辦？制定一個「不用手機」的方針，並且要求每個人都遵守規則。在用餐一開始就把所有手機關機，或是將所有手機從餐桌上拿開，讓人看不到。如果有任何人的手機響了，別不好意思，儘管要求他們讓它直接進入語音信箱。如果跟你一起用餐的人接了電話，稍微等一段時間，因為這很可能是一通重要的電話。
一旦你發現電話裡的談話根本就是八卦，而且很顯然地不會立刻結束，從餐桌起身，並示意你要離開了。留一張紙條表示你想要改時間。你不需要用很兇的態度，但是你應該讓他們知道你的時間也是很寶貴的。
【快看看這篇出現了哪些片語？】
1. without distraction 全神貫注地
distraction指「分心、分散注意力」，without distraction即「全神貫注地」、「心無旁騖地」之意。
例句：
1. It is difficult to watch the movie without distraction when someone is talking on the phone beside me.
有人在我旁邊講電話時，很難全神貫注地看電影。
2. Don’t bring your cell phone into the meeting room, so that you can be engaged in the meeting without distraction.
別帶著你的手機進會議室，如此一來你才能心無旁騖地開會。
解析：
這一段在比較not too long ago（不久之前）以及today（今日）兩種不同的情況。文中提到「今日」太多人因手機而分心，而相對地，「不久之前」的聚會則是需要「毫不分心、全神貫注」的，因此使用without distraction（全神貫注地）這個片語。
2. due to 因為
due to是表示「因為、由於」的片語，後面接名詞，意思等同於because of …。
例句：
1. The flight was delayed due to the storm.
班機因為暴風雨而延誤了。
2. His absence from the meeting was due to his illness.
他因為生病而沒有出席會議。
解析：
這裡要表示的是人們在聚會時可能會很沒禮貌，是「由於」too much cell phone distraction（太多因手機而分心的情況）而引起的，因此這裡用due to這個片語，表示「原因」。
3. without doubt 無疑地
doubt指「懷疑、不確定」，without doubt即「無疑地、確實地」之意，也可以說成without a doubt。與beyond doubt、beyond any doubt、no doubt等片語是一樣的意思。
例句：
1. This is without doubt the greatest novel she’s ever written.
這無疑是她寫過最棒的一本小說。
2. It was without doubt the largest earthquake on record.
這無疑是有史以來最大的一次地震。
解析：
雖然前面一直表示跟朋友吃飯或聚會時使用手機是無禮的，但是這裡提到在circumstances of emergency（緊急情況）時是可以接電話的，這裡用without doubt這個片語，表示「不用說、不用懷疑」，以強調這樣的情形是「當然沒有問題的」。
4. in advance 事先
advance指「預先的、事先的」，in advance即表示「事前、預先」的副詞片語，與beforehand（預先、事先）這個副詞同義。
例句：
1. Let me know in advance if you can’t come to the party.
如果你不能來參加派對，要事先讓我知道。
2. If you want to meet Mr. Larry, you need to make an appointment in advance.
如果你想見賴瑞先生，你需要事先約時間。
解析：
前面已經提到多次，用餐時接手機是不禮貌的，因此如果真的必須接電話，應該要向一同用餐的人致歉，以免給人不禮貌的印象。這裡用in advance這個片語，表示道歉必須在「接電話之前」，而不是先給人壞印象，之後才請求對方諒解。
5. bore the pants off sb. 使人極為厭煩
bore指「使人感到無聊」，bore the pants off sb.字面看來是「讓一個人無聊到把褲子都脫掉了」，意思就是「讓人感到無聊透頂、使人極為厭煩」。
例句：
1. Mr. Lawson’s opening speech bored the pants off me.
羅森先生的開場致辭讓我覺得無聊透頂。
2. He couldn’t help dozing off because the plot of the movie bored the pants off him.
他忍不住打瞌睡，因為電影劇情讓他覺得無聊透頂。
解析：
很多人玩手機遊戲，是為了打發無聊、殺時間。一般人不會在有正事做的情況下玩遊戲，因此明明是在用餐中，而且還有他人在場，卻把手機拿出來玩遊戲，豈不是告訴其他人「你正覺得無聊透頂」嗎？因此這裡用bore the pants off這個片語，表示這就是這樣的行為所給予人的印象。

無疑地，三明治對很多現代人來說，顯然是最有吸引力的食物之一。各種形式的三明治最是受到全世界各種年齡的食客歡迎。僅僅是大咬一口有培根、生和番茄的簡單三明治就能讓很多人眉開眼笑了。
如果你是個愛吃三明治的人，有時候你也許會好奇第一個三明治是什麼時候，又是怎麼做出來的吧。「三明治」這個代表一種食物的字，乃源自於兩百多年前，可能是一七六二年時，以森威治伯爵四世—約翰．孟德古來命名的。孟德古是一個英國貴族，同時也是個極度愛好賭博的人，經常一賭就是好幾個小時。有一天，孟德古一如往常地和朋友們進行一場馬拉松式的賭局。即使餓了，他也因為忙於遊戲而拒絕起來用餐。於是他要求廚師幫他做點不會打斷遊戲的東西來吃。在孟德古的要求下，廚師將一片烤牛肉夾在兩片麵包中間，讓孟德古，也就是森威治伯爵四世，可以用一隻手享用美食，並仍能用另一隻手玩牌。
很多不擅烹飪技術的人發現，要他們自己做三明治簡直是易如反掌。你可以隨你高興做任何口味的三明治，像是牛肉三明治、雞肉三明治、鮪魚三明治或是海鮮三明治。而且，也有適合素食者或是正在節食的人的三明治，也就是起司三明治、蔬菜三明治，或甚至是水果三明治。
三明治又快又簡單。每當你不想做菜的時候，試試為你自己做一個三明治。你會很驚喜地滿足於你所吃到的東西。而每當你太忙了，以致於不能慢慢地吃一頓飯時，試著在一間以三明治聞名的餐廳吃飯。三明治對一個忙碌的人來說總是最方便的。
