How long is it right away?
A child cried downstairs: "Mom lied and said to take me to buy shoes immediately, I waited for a long time and you didn't come down, I waited for a long time, woo-woo!" ”
The mother apologized while coaxing: "I'm sorry, baby, mom went to the toilet, isn't this coming right away, it won't be long." ”
Haha, hearing the words "right away", I couldn't help but feel the same way, and when I was a child, I didn't know how long "right away" and "wait a while" were, as if it was not the same as adults understood. The adult said to take you out to play immediately, but it took half a day to leave, and the adult said to go to the park later, but there was no movement after waiting for two days.
When I was a child, I once went to climb a mountain to pick wild fruits, my brother led the way, he said that he would arrive immediately, and he had not arrived after climbing for 20 minutes, and he said that he would arrive soon, and he had not arrived until his legs were soft, and then he said that he would arrive immediately, and as a result, he would arrive if he didn't want to go up, and it was right in front of him. Only then did I understand that the "right away" that my brother said turned out to be a long, long time, but it really arrived.
When I grew up, I gradually understood that "right away" and "wait a while" are said in different scenes, some are time concepts, some are polite, and some are flickering.
