Pulling out your phone while having a one-on-one conversation

一對一聊天時掏出手機看

I get it — not every conversation you have in life is going to be a riveting exchange of ideas.

我懂你，不是每場對話都有思想碰撞的美妙火花。

In fact, most of them will probably be so mindlessly awkward you’ll try to chew through your own tongue just to keep from having to continue speaking.

事實上大多數對話都漫無目的，尷尬得你恨不得咬斷舌頭，這樣就不用接著說話了。

But that doesn’t mean you should pull out your phone and browse Instagram while the other person is talking.

但這也不代表在對方說話時你可以掏出手機刷Instagram（注：一款社交應用）。

By doing that you’re essentially saying that whatever’s coming out of their face hole is less important than the emoji-laden text you just received from your drunk ex.

你如果這么做，就表示無論對方的嘴里說什么，都不及你醉酒的前男/女友發來的滿是emoji表情的短信重要。

【知識點講解】

keep from 阻止, 妨礙

例句：

Hearing the words, he couldn't keep from laughing.

聽了這話，他不由得笑了起來。

He was argumentative, loud and just plain rude. We bit our tongues the entire weekend to keep from telling him where to go!

他好爭論，大嗓門并且毫無禮貌。整個周末我們強忍住未向他下逐客令。
