My friend and I meet each week on line and type for hours. One night I had a high fever and felt too sick to chat, so I dashed off a brief note cancel-ing our cyber-plans. My friend seemed upset when I phoned her a few days later. “If you don't want to go on the Net with me,” she said, “just say so.” Perplexed, I retrieved the e-mail I'd sent her. It read, “I won't be able to talk to you on the computer tonight. I have laryngitis.”

我和我的朋友每个星期都在网上见面，一聊就是几个小时。有一天晚上，我发高烧，不能和她聊天，就发给她一个便条，取消了我们的网上约会。过了几天，我打电话给她。她似乎有点不高兴。她说：“你如果不愿意继续和我在网上聊天，就明说好了。”我被她说得莫名其妙，就把我发给她的那个电子邮件找出来看。我写的是：“我得了喉炎，今天晚上不能和你在网上聊天了。”
