三月流焱：谁最靠谱，守时有信用的人

在《世说新语》中， 记载着一则“陈太丘与友期”的故事。

In "Shishuo Xinyu", there is a story about "Chen Taiqiu and Youqi".

陈太丘与朋友约好了一起出去，时间定在中午。可是过了中午，友人迟迟没有出现，陈太丘就离开了。

Chen Taiqiu has arranged to go out with his friends at noon. But after noon, the friend didn't show up for a long time, and Chen Taiqiu left.

陈太丘离开后朋友才到，而当时年仅七岁的元方，正在门外玩耍。

After Chen Taiqiu left, his friend arrived, while Yuan Fang, who was only seven years old at the time, was playing outside the door.

于是朋友便问元方：“你父亲在吗？”

So my friend asked Yuan Fang, "Is your father there

元方回答：“等了您很久您都没来，他就离开了。”

Yuan Fang replied, "I waited for you for a long time and you didn't come, so he left

朋友生气地说：“真不是君子啊！和别人相约同行，却丢下别人先离开了。”

My friend said angrily, "You're really not a gentleman! You made an appointment to go with someone, but left them behind first

元芳听完反驳道：“您与我父亲约在正午，正午您没到，就是不讲信用；对着孩子骂父亲，就是没有礼貌。”

After listening, Yuan Fang retorted, "You made an appointment with my father at noon. If you didn't arrive at noon, it's not trustworthy. It's impolite to scold my father to the child

朋友惭愧，想下车去拉元方，结果元方头也不回地走进了大门。

My friend felt ashamed and wanted to get off the car to pull Yuan Fang, but Yuan Fang walked into the door without looking back.

其实我们身边也不乏这样的人，以为偶尔的迟到无伤大雅，可是时间久了就慢慢形成拖拖拉拉的习惯。

In fact, there are many people around us who think occasional lateness is harmless, but over time, they gradually develop a habit of procrastination.

殊不知，每一次的守时和守信的背后，藏着一个人的社交信用。

Little do they know, behind every punctuality and trustworthiness lies a person's social credit.

而靠谱的人更是深知，没有人的时间可以无端被浪费。

And reliable people know very well that no one's time can be wasted for no reason.

所以，他们对应承之事，从来都是信守承诺，对待时间一丝不苟。

So, they always keep their promises and are meticulous in dealing with time when it comes to their commitments.

这样的人，才值得信任和托付。

Such people are worthy of trust and trust.
