Multitasking 一心二用

你在一边参加网络会议一边写作业么？

Are you doing your homework while attending an online meeting?

是啊，怎么啦？这和一边开车一边听音乐、一边看电视一边吃饭没有差别啊。

Yeah, why? It's no different from listening to music while driving, watching TV and eating at the same time.

当然不一样了！这些事情都不需要全神贯注，所以才能一心二用。

Of course it's different! You don't need to concentrate on these things, so you can do two things at once.

哈哈，我是一边听讲座，一边练字，也都不费脑子。

Haha, I was listening to the lecture and practicing calligraphy at the same time, I didn't think or concentrate on either.
