《English Translation》

小宝: Why is today’s food delivery so slow? I’m really hungry.
小刚: Maybe the delivery rider is taking a break. The new rules say they have to stop for twenty minutes after working continuously for four hours.
小宝: Why is that? Don’t they want to deliver faster?
小刚: It’s for safety. If they get too tired, it can be dangerous—just like how we need to rest after walking for a long time.
小宝: Oh, then how long do they work each day?
小刚: Usually no more than eight hours, and platforms aren’t allowed to force overtime through incentives.
小宝: I see. Then it’s okay if we wait a bit—let the delivery guy have a rest.
小刚: That’s right. Caring about others is also a small kind of kindness.
