乘客电梯为什么要放镜子

 乘客电梯里为什么要“放镜子”？

　　Why do you put a mirror in the elevator?

　　随着高层建筑不断的拔地而起

　　With the development of the high-rise buildings springing up constantly

　　我们每天可能会上下十几层的高楼

　　We may go up and down a dozen storeys

　　人们当然不想去爬楼梯

　　Of course, people don’t want to climb the stairs

　　所以电梯已成为生活中必不可少的一部分

　　So the elevator has become an essential part of life

我们几乎每天都会坐电梯

　　We take the elevator almost every day

　　上班时、回家时、逛街时

　　At work, home, shopping

　　当我们每走进电梯时

　　When we walked into the elevator

　　第一动作都会干什么呢

　　What do you do in the first act?

　　大概都会先看自己的妆容

　　Probably will look at their own makeup

　　再按楼层吧

　　Then press the floor

　　电梯里装了镜子

　　A mirror is installed in the elevator

　　使人产生一种空间变大的错觉

　　To create an illusion of space

　　镜子除了让人整理自己的妆容外

　　In addition to the mirror arranging makeup outside

　　还可以提防犯罪和骚扰

　　And watch out for crime and harassment

　　其实他真正的作用不是这些

　　In fact, his real role is not these

　　电梯中设置镜子

　　Setting mirror in elevator

　　是为了辅助使用轮椅的人

　　A person who uses a wheelchair

　　让他们确认电梯出入口的位置

　　Let them confirm the location of the elevator entrance

　　因为他们不容易在电梯中转身

　　Because they’re not easy to turn around in the elevator
