Today, my friend asked me a question. At night, do you turn off your cell phone? If you don’t, whom do you leave it on for?
今天，朋友问我一个问题，晚上的时候你关机吗？不关机，那你是为谁呢？
I usually do not turn off my cell phone. Why? I have no idea. After reading an article, I seemed to understand a little bit: for that little bit of caring. I am now sharing this story with you.
我一向不关机，但是为了什么呢？我不知道，后来我看了一篇文章，我有点明白了，只为了那丝牵挂。现在我把它拿出来与大家分享。
The girl would turn her cell phone off and put it by her photo on the desk every night before going to bed. This habit has been with her ever since she bought the phone.

有一天夜里，男孩很想念女孩子，打了过去却关机，因为女孩已经睡下了。第二天，男孩对女孩说：“以后晚上不要关机，好么？我想你的时候找不到你，心会不安。”
From that day forth, the girl began a new habit. Her cell phone never shuts down at night. Because she was afraid that she might not be able to hear the phone ring in her sleep, she tried to stay very alert. As days passed, she became thinner and thinner. Slowly, a gap began to form between them.
从那以后，女孩开始另一种习惯——整夜都不关机。因为害怕他打来自己会因睡死而听不到，女孩夜夜都很警醒，人便日渐消瘦。然而，慢慢地，两个人之间还是有了裂痕。
