「你先請」不是「You go first」

學習重點
你可以說”after you”，當對方是女性時，也會說”ladies first”(女士優先)，然而一些女性主義者會將之視為歧視。

Some cultures in the west differ from those in the east, for example, when two people are approaching a door at the same time or they are in a lift getting off at the same time – body language with an open hand motioning the other person to move first is a common practice, however, this can be replaced with “after you" or if the person is female “ladies first"……however some feminists in western countries now see the latter comment as sexist. That being said, if the other person refuses and motions you to go first you do so without any delay

【大略翻譯】
西方文化在很多方面是東方文化不一樣的，以”等電梯”為例子。如果有兩個人站在電梯門前，電梯到了而他們又同時要走進電梯，這時後其中一人會用肢體語言表示禮讓：一個手臂張開，手掌向上略往前推的樣子。或是也會說”after you”，當對方是女性時，也會說”ladies first”(女士優先)，然而一些女性主義者會將之視為歧視。如果對方婉拒，並要你先進電梯的話，你就直接走進去不用等了。
