我们走路时都遇到过这种情景：有人迎面走来，双方相互避让，却总是碰巧向同一方向避让，有时会这样变来变去很多次，直到有人不再避让或选定一个方向才能错开。这就叫做sidewalk salsa(人行道萨尔萨)。

 

 

When you walk up to someone on the sidewalk and you both try to move out of each other's way, and in doing so repeatedly move into each other's way.

当你在人行道与对面的行人迎面遇上时，你们双方都试图避开对方，但却总是恰好又挡住对方的路。

例句：

"Why are you late?"

"I got stuck doing the sidewalk salsa."

“为什么你迟到了?”

“我遇上了‘人行道萨尔萨’。”
