And so she went on, taking first one side and then the other, and making quite a conversation of it altogether; but after a few minutes she heard a voice outside, and stopped to listen.

她就这样继续说着，先装这个人，然后又装另一个人，就这样说了一大堆话。几分钟后，她听到门外有声音，才停止唠叨去听那个声音。

Overhearing one-sided conversations really is more annoying because the brain finds it more taxing, and therefore more distracting, to listen to only half of a conversation versus the whole thing.

旁听通话一方的讲话实际上更加烦人，因为你的大脑会觉得只听一半通话比倾听完整的通话更加费脑筋，也就更容易分散注意力。

Now how about we listen to the whole conversation one more time?

现在我们再听一遍整个对话，如何？
