参考译文
off-line
In Hong Kong, Macao, and Chinese Mainland, "off-line" is used to describe an individual’s mental disorder. For example, when someone suddenly shifts from one thing to another, that person could be said to be "off-line." "Off-line" could also refer to someone who likes to think about things that will never come true or act upon impulse.
