You should never be the first one to leave, right? If you're at the office, it marks you out as a bad worker, while if you're at a party it's just plain rude. So, stuck between a rock and a hard place, you end up playing the game of "you move, I move".
別做最先離開(kāi)辦公室的人,K歌時(shí)永遠(yuǎn)別第一個(gè)喊著要回家。在“先走的就不是好員工,先撤的就不是好朋友”的幼稚心態(tài)的支配下,每個(gè)人都玩起了“你不動(dòng),我也不敢動(dòng)”的木頭人游戲。

As you're leaving your apartment, you try the door a couple of times to ensure that it's locked. Then you get in the elevator and descend to the first floor. But did you remember to switch off the TV? Time to get back in the elevator and go back home to check again.
