陳豪正正在北京的ABC好國公司事件。他走出電梯，刚好掽到好國同事Amy.
(Office ambience)
A：Hi Chen Hao, you look upset. What's wrong?
C：電梯太擠了，我差里就沒下来。
A：Why couldn't you get off?
C：我從一樓大年夜廳上電梯的時辰是第一個，所以就站到了最裏面，到了三樓後，很多人擠进来，就把我堵在了裏面。
A：Sometimes people on elevators can be quite rude and treat others with sheer indifference. They don't seem to realize that the rules of manners apply to elevators as well.
C：坐電梯皆有些甚麼端圆呢？
A：To start with, if you had waited to get on the elevator, you would have been near the front and not had to push your way through the crowd to exit.
C：我是怕人多，擠不上去，所以上電梯的時刻总是搶在最前頭。
A：There's always another elevator.
C：你讲的對，我只上兩層，噹前不用第一個便擠出來。
A：When you got on, you should have stepped to the side near the door so you would be out of the way of others trying to follow.
C：但是如果是到頂樓設念部往，便應噹站到最裏裏了吧？
A：You reminded me. I am planning to see the new media exhibit on the 20th floor this afternoon. Would you like to go with me?
C：我也正盤算來呢。那我們下戰書睹。

Amy跟陳豪下晝一路坐電梯上樓往看展覽。
C：擠去世我了，有些人坐電梯實是不講禮貌。
A：At the least the man at the front of the elevator who was not getting off until the top floor was polite.
C：我也留心到了。他每到一層都会走進來，幫下電梯的人攔著門。
A：Another polite move when you are standing by the elevator panel is to figure out which buttons hold the doors open and which ones close them.
C：對啊，有一次我趕到電梯門古道热肠時，門簡曲已閉上了，裏面的人看到我，立即按了Open的鍵，才讓我開會出遲到。
A：As an added courtesy, offer to push the appropriate floor for the people who can't reach the buttons.
C：實在那些都是最基礎的禮儀嘛。
A：One last thing...when the elevator arrives and the door opens, stand back. Give people room to exit. Besides if you don't, you could get run over.
C：Amy, 說了這麼多，能總結一下坐電梯的規則嗎？
A：Elevator etiquette is simple. Be considerate. If you will be exiting soon, stand near the door. If you will be one of the last to get off, stand near the back.
C：總而止之，坐電梯也要講禮貌，讓大家皆覺得方便。
