Writer’s Note

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been interrupted while I was in the middle of doing something. It could have been at work while I was super focused or it could have been when I was at home making dinner and both kids were telling me something at the same time. It could have been while I was listening to music or doing dishes and for some reason, the phone rings at the same time the kids are fighting and your partner is asking you a question. Ah.. life. Gets so crazy sometimes but now you know the perfect phrase to tell your coworkers or family that you’re busy. In a nice way.

我無法告訴你我有多少次在做某件事情的時候被打斷。可能是在工作時我非常專注，或者是在家裡做晚餐的時候，兩個孩子同時告訴我一些事情。也可能是在我聽音樂或洗碗的時候，電話響了，同時孩子們在吵架，而你的伴侶又在問你一個問題。啊，生活。有時候真的很瘋狂，但現在你知道了一句完美的話，可以用來告訴你的同事或家人你很忙。以一種友好的方式。

Sometimes English sentences seem extra long but treat longer sentences as chunks for example, "I’m in the middle of" is one chunk and the rest of the sentence is another.

有時候，英文句子看起來特別長，但可以將較長的句子視為幾個部分，例如，「I'm in the middle of」是一個部分，而句子的其餘部分則是另一部分。
