If you are abstracted, you are in the room but not really in the room. Your eyes may be open, you may even answer “mm,” but your mind is on something else — a worry, a memory, a plan. People around you can tell: you look far away.

If you are abstracted如果你是abstracted（恍神）的 you are in the room but not really in the room你人在現場，但其實不在現場。 Your eyes may be open, you may even answer "mm,"你眼睛可能睜著，甚至還會回答'嗯' but your mind is on something else但心思在別的地方 a worry, a memory, a plan可能是一個煩惱、一段回憶、一個計畫。 People around you can tell旁邊的人看得出來 you look far away你看起來心不在焉。

It is quieter than rude and kinder than “ignoring you”; it is attention that has stepped aside, not manners that have failed, though it can still hurt.

It is quieter than rude and kinder than "ignoring you"這比沒禮貌溫和，也比'不理你'和善 it is attention that has stepped aside, not manners that have failed是注意力暫時走神，不是禮貌出了問題 though it can still hurt不過還是可能讓人受傷。

Slightly literary, still alive. Teachers and novels use it; teenagers more often say “spacing out” or “lost in thought,” and in Taiwan you may hear “he’s not paying attention.” Though actually, this is not the same as abstract art, and it is not the same as an abstract of a paper (a short summary). Those share a spelling and an old Latin picture of “pulling away,” but abstracted here means your attention has been pulled away from now.

Slightly literary, still alive這個字有點文學，但還算活著。 Teachers and novels use it老師和小說裡會用它 teenagers more often say "spacing out" or "lost in thought,"青少年比較常說'spacing out'或'lost in thought' and in Taiwan you may hear "he's not paying attention."在台灣你可能會聽到'他沒在專心' Though actually, this is not the same as abstract art不過其實這跟'抽象藝術'（abstract art）不一樣 and it is not the same as an abstract of a paper (a short summary)也跟論文的'abstract'（摘要）不一樣。 Those share a spelling and an old Latin picture of "pulling away,"這些字拼法相同，背後都有'拉開'的古拉丁字根 but abstracted here means your attention has been pulled away from now但這裡的abstracted是指你的注意力被拉離了當下。

It can sound a little critical ("she was too abstracted to hear")這可以聽起來有點批評的意味，像'she was too abstracted to hear'（她恍神到沒聽見） or simply descriptive也可以只是單純描述。
