Escalefter is a person who stands on the left side of a busy escalator, thus blocking those who would walk up or down.
自動扶梯上人不少,但卻有人站在扶梯左側(cè)不動,堵住想疾行上下的人的去路。
People who stand to the left instead of standing to the right are like speed bumps, and they slow down the pedestrian flow through the stations.
該站在扶梯右側(cè),卻站在左側(cè)的人就如同路上的“減速帶”,減緩了地鐵的通行量。
The number of trains missed due to escalefters is horrifyingly high and this tragic epidemic must be stopped.
因為這些“扶梯堵路者”,很多人會錯過地鐵列車。這種可悲的“流行病”該改改了。
例句:
Oh man I hate it when there is an escalefter in front of me when I'm getting off the subway and running late for work.
有時我下了地鐵,快遲到了著急趕路時,卻遇上有人在扶梯左側(cè)堵住我的去路,這太招人煩了!
