城市迷走症指的是,生活在快节奏城市的人们时常会因为压力太大或者太专注于工作而忘记在电梯里按下自己要去的楼层,或者在地铁里坐过站。
Urban trance describes the situation where people living in fast-paced cities may find themselves forgetting to press the button for their floor in an elevator or missing their subway stop because they are under great pressure or are too preoccupied with work.
