If you meet someone using a white cane, here are some rules to follow. First and foremost, be respectful. Many white cane users can move around independently and may not need assistance. Therefore, always ask if they need help before giving them a hand. If they accept your help, follow their instructions carefully rather than guessing what they need. Usually, it is best to offer your elbow for them to hold onto instead of pulling their arm.

  如果你遇到使用白手杖的人,以下是一些该遵循的规矩。首要的是要保持尊重。许多白手杖使用者能独自行动,可能不需要协助。因此,在伸出援手前,务必先询问他们是否需要帮助。如果他们接受帮助,仔细听从他们的指示,而非自己猜测他们需要什么。通常,最好的方式是提供你的手肘让他们抓住,而不是拉扯他们的手臂。
