参考答案

Well,a time when I missed an appointment was missing my best friend Wang Lei’s birthday party.

一次我错过别人的约定就是错过了我最好的朋友Wang Lei的生日庆祝会。

It was about last summer when I just graduated from senior high school.As usual,I accepted Wang’s invitation to his party,which will be held at his grand villa,and he promised that we would have more fun together this time.

这大概是在去年夏天，我们那个时候刚从高中毕业。和往常一样，我接受了Wang的生日聚会邀请，这个聚会会在他家的豪华别墅内举办，他也想我保证，这次我们一定会玩得很开心。

I actually knew Wang’s birthday by heart because I had celebrated his birthday for two years.However,that summer was a bit special.You know,my father wanted me to have an internship in a company of his friend,hoping that I could make the most of my summer before college.So,I followed his advice and went to Beijing,which was far away from my hometown,and started my six consecutive weeks of working.The internship was so intensive that I didn’t even realize I missed his birthday until I refreshed his Wechat moment,where he posted lots of nice photos of his party.

我其实对Wang的生日记得很清楚的，因为我为他庆祝了两年的生日了。但是，那个夏天有点特殊。我爸爸想让我把上大学前的那个暑假充分利用起来，于是想让我去他朋友家的公司实习。我采纳了他的建议，然后就去了北京，这距离我家乡特别远，然后我就开始了连续不断的六周工作。实习强度很大，我甚至都没有意识到我错过了他的生日庆祝，是我刷到了他微信朋友圈发出来的很多张不错的生日聚会照片才意识到的。

Well,I think the main reason I missed the appointment was that the heavy workload completely diverted my attention from my personal social network.At that time,I truly felt I was not a multi-tasker.

我觉得我错过这个约定的主要原因就是工作量太大，分散了我对个人交际关系的注意力。就是在那个时候我才知道我不是一个多线程办事的人。

I felt guilty about this incident because he was my best friend,and I should’ve set up a reminder or something beforehand.

我对这次事件感到内疚，因为他是我最要好的朋友，我应该事先设置好一个备忘录的。
