壹苹派生活美语　车站手扶梯两侧站立

　　In the image, a group of people is waiting in line and moving up an escalator. Judging from the number of people, the scene appears to take place at a busy station during rush hour. Unlike the common practice of standing on one side of the escalator to allow others to walk on the other side, the people in the image are standing on both sides. The practice of standing on both sides of the escalator has its advantages and disadvantages.

　　图片中，一群人正排队等候上手扶梯。从人数来看，这一幕似乎发生在尖峰时刻的繁忙车站中。与站在手扶梯一侧以让其他人在另一侧行走的常见做法不同，图片中的人站在手扶梯的两侧。站在手扶梯两侧的做法有其优缺点。
