L60-1: Too early and too late
Punctuality守时 is a necessary habit in all public affairs in civilized society. Without it, nothing could ever be brought to a conclusion; everything would be in a state of chaos. Only in a sparsely稀少的-populated rural农村 community is it possible to disregard it. In ordinary普通的 living, there can be some tolerance of unpunctuality. The intellectual知识分子, who is working on some abstruse费解的 problem, has everything coordinated and organized for the matter in hand. He is therefore forgiven if late for a dinner party. But people are often reproached责备 for unpunctuality when their only fault is cutting things fine. It is hard for energetic精力充沛的, quick-minded people to waste time, so they are often tempted to finish a job before setting out to keep an appointment. If no accidents occur on the way, like punctured tyres, diversions临时改道 of traffic, sudden descent下降 of fog, they will be on time.
