总是勉强在最后一分钟赶到公司？赴约时就算提前打出几小时的富余，最后还是会迟到？有人说这是拖延症的表现，可专家说，这种情况叫chronic lateness（惯常迟到）。

Do any of the following sound familiar?

下面这些描述，你觉得耳熟吗？

** You're always rushing at the last minute, even though you've promised yourself countless times that you wouldn't let this happen again.

你总是在最后一分钟时冲向目的地，虽然之前你已经无数次告诉自己不会让这一幕再次发生。

** You've tried setting your watch several minutes ahead, but you're still late.

你已经把手表调快了几分钟，可你还是迟到了。

** You may be punctual for work (barely) but you're usually at least 20 minutes late for meetings, appointments, class, church, theater or other non-work situations.

可能上班的时候，你勉强能做到准时；但在会议、预约、上课、教堂、剧院及其他非工作场合，你通常都会迟到至少20分钟。

** You make excuses, such as: "There was traffic," or "Something came up," or "I was going to call you but I didn't want to be even more late."

你会找借口，比如“堵车了”，或者“临时有事”，又或者“我本来想给你打电话的，可我觉得太晚了。”

** People become impatient or angry at your tardiness.
