| 蘿 拉： | 一點也沒錯，一不小心就會對手機上癮，生活就不正常了。 |
| 丹尼斯： | 我每次看到有人邊走邊打簡訊，我就會很煩。而且我沒法忍受在餐廳看到有人只顧著玩手機，不理對方。 |
| 蘿 拉： | 很容易就會掉入那樣的陷阱，有時候就是得「離線」。 |
| 丹尼斯： | 對啊，我有一次跟個女孩約會，她就只是不斷秀給我看她手機上的東西，我對她完全一無所知。 |
| 蘿 拉： | 她大概只是想吃頓免費的。 |
| 丹尼斯： | 謝喔，蘿拉，妳真會提振別人的信心啊。 |

out of the loop 狀況外 |
loop 指的是「圈」，所以in the loop 的意思是被算進某個團體內（因而消息靈通，知情）。out of the loop 則是相反之意。這種團體通常涉及重要決定，用loop 比喻知情者和祕密流通者的圈子。
A: Do you have any idea who’s going to be laid off?
你知道誰會被裁員嗎？
B: No. I’m out of the loop.
不知道，我在狀況外。
