搭乘电梯扶梯时“右侧站立，左侧急行”作为一种文明共识，在国内很多城市都得到了倡导。在世界上也是一种公认的准则。但偏偏有些人，站在左侧挡住别人的去路，这被称为escalefter。
Escalefter is a person who stands on the left side of a busy escalator,thus blocking those who would walk up or down.
自动扶梯上人不少，但却有人站在扶梯左侧不动，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 likespeed bumps, and they slow down the pedestrian flow through the stations.
该站在扶梯右侧，却站在左侧的人就如同路上的“减速带”，减缓了地铁的通行量。
The number of trains missed due to escalefters is horrifyingly high andthis tragic epidemic must be stopped.
因为这些“扶梯堵路者”，很多人会错过地铁列车。这种可悲的“流行病”该改改了。
例句：
Oh man I hate it when there is an escalefter in front of me when I'mgetting off the subway and running late for work.
有时我下了地铁，快迟到了着急赶路时，却遇上有人在扶梯左侧堵住我的去路，这太招人烦了!
