【题目】Vicky Zhao is from the mainland working in Hong Kong. For her, one thing she can't stand is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator(自动扶梯) in subway stations.

“Escalators help us move faster and save time. It isn't a place to rest,” the 24yearold says, “I often see tourists blocking(挡住) the way with their heavy suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hour. It makes me very angry.”

Agreeing that she is not the patient type, Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where people often pay no attention to “stand right, walk left” signs.

The reason behind the rule “stand right, walk left” seems clear. Even though you may want to have a rest and just wait while you're transported up or down, you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry, so that they can run and take the train.

But the people who stand on escalators will tell the walkers not to be so impatient. In a recent story about the escalator rule, one stander says, “If the person is in such a rush, why not just take the stairs?”

Many cities' escalators, including London's and Beijing's, use the “stand right, walk left” rule to speed up the movement of people. (In Australian cities like Sydney you should stand on the left side instead.) But some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons. In Hong Kong's subway stations people are asked to “stand still” on escalators. Even so, most people keep the “stand right, walk left” rule.

Whatever the escalator rule is in the place you live in or visit, do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others; leave enough space between each other; don't stay at the end of the escalator, and if someone is blocking your way, a simple “excuse me” is enough.
