[00:01.00]Late At Night, Do You Turn Off Your Cell 1 Phone? 今夜不关机


[00:08.22]Today, my friend asked me a question.


[00:11.17]At night, do you turn off your cell phone?


[00:14.78]If you don’t, whom do you leave it on for?


[00:18.84]I usually do not turn off my cell phone.


[00:22.66]Why? I have no idea.


[00:25.70]After reading an article, 


[00:27.56]I seemed to understand a little bit: for that little bit of caring.


[00:32.37]I am now sharing this story with you.


[00:35.87]A girl would turn her cell phone off 


[00:38.47]and put it by her photo on the desk every night before going to bed.


[00:42.98]This habit had been with her ever since she bought the phone.


[00:47.03]The girl had a very close boyfriend.


[00:50.31]When they couldn’t meet they would either call or send messages to each other.


[00:55.13]They both liked this type of communication.


[00:58.63]One night, the boy really missed the girl.


[01:02.71]When he called her, however, 


[01:04.66]the girl’s cell phone was off because she was already asleep.


[01:09.72]The next day, the boy asked the girl to leave her cell phone on at night


[01:14.97]because when he needed to find her and could not, he would be worried.


[01:19.78]From that day forth 2, the girl began a new habit. 


[01:23.91]Her cell phone was never shut off at night.


[01:27.88]Because she was afraid that she might not be able to hear the phone ring in her sleep,


[01:34.83]she tried to stay very alert 3.


[01:37.29]As days passed, she became thinner and thinner.


[01:41.44]Slowly, a gap 4 began to form between them.


[01:45.60]The girl wanted to revive 5 their relationship.


[01:49.65]One night, she called the boy. However, what she got was a sweet female 6 voice:


[01:56.22]“Sorry, the subscriber 7 you dialed is power off.”


[02:00.93]The girl knew that her love had just been turned off.


[02:05.95]After a long time, the girl had a new love.


[02:11.09]No matter how well they got along, the girl, refused to get married.


[02:17.11]In the girl’s heart, she always remembered that boy’s words 


[02:21.65]and the night when that phone was power off.


[02:24.55]The girl still kept the habit of leaving her cell phone on all through the night,


[02:30.77]but not expecting that it would ring.


[02:33.30]One night, the girl got ill.


[02:36.37]In a moment of fluster 8, instead of calling her parents, 


[02:40.92]she dialed the new boyfriend’s cell phone.


[02:43.49]The boy was already asleep but his cell phone was still on.


[02:48.18]Later, the girl asked the boy:“Why don’t you turn your cell phone off at night?”


[02:55.01]The boy answered:“I m afraid that 


[02:57.87]if you need anything at night and aren’t able to find me, you’ll worry.”


[03:02.77]The girl finally married the boy.


[03:05.07]Late at night, do you turn off your cell phone?
