On what occasions do people usually need to wait?
人们通常在什么情况下需要等待？
People often need to wait in situations like visiting the doctor, standing in line at a store, waiting for public transportation, or during major events like concerts or festivals. Waiting is also common for special occasions, such as birthdays or vacations.
人们通常需要在看医生、商店排队、等待公共交通或参加重大活动（如演唱会或节日）时等待。在特别的场合，比如生日或假期，也需要等待。
Who behave better when waiting, children or adults?
谁在等待时表现得更好，孩子还是成年人？
Adults usually behave better because they have more patience and can distract themselves with phones or books. However, some adults may still show impatience, while children often struggle more, especially if the waiting time is long or they don’t have anything to occupy them.
通常成年人表现得更好，因为他们更有耐心，可以用手机或书籍来分散注意力。然而，有些成年人仍然会表现出急躁，而孩子往往更难以忍受等待，尤其是等待时间长或没有东西可以打发时间的时候。
Do you think waiting is harder now?
你认为现在等待更难了吗？
Yes, waiting can feel harder now because we live in an era of instant gratification. People are used to fast services and quick results, so long waiting times can feel frustrating. However, technology like smartphones helps make waiting more bearable by providing entertainment and distractions.
是的，现在等待可能更难，因为我们生活在一个追求即时满足的时代。人们习惯于快速服务和迅速的结果，因此长时间的等待会让人感到沮丧。然而，像智能手机这样的技术可以提供娱乐和分散注意力，让等待变得更容易忍受。
