Broken Escalators | 故障的自动扶梯

English Original

"An escalator can never break; it can only become stairs. You would never see an 'escalator temporarily out of order' sign, just 'escalator temporarily stairs.'

"Sorry for the convenience."


中文翻译

"自动扶梯永远不会坏掉;它只会变成楼梯。你永远不会看到'自动扶梯暂时停用'的告示,只会看到'自动扶梯暂时是楼梯'。

"抱歉给您带来了便利。"
