左撇子在“右撇子”世界的不方便之处(附英语)
1. 最大的问题:写字。
· 因为看不到前面,很难对齐,用铅笔、钢笔的话,会把手和纸弄脏,可能需要避免使用钢笔和软铅铅笔,以及记号笔。白板不好用,尤其在学校,这时不得不快速书写然后从白板上抄到书上。(还有什么笔可用呢?)
· 左右写反,例如:右撇子写字母“O”的时候是逆时针,但左撇子是顺时针。
· 钢笔尖把纸戳破(为了不把手和纸弄脏,握笔姿势不对)
问题 | 占总问题的百分比 |
弄脏纸、黑板、白板 手疼 写得慢 手背疼 | 88% 71% 38% 37% |
2. 和多人吃饭不方便,筷子老和左边人打架
3. 安全问题
汽车的手动档在右边,电锯的安全刀片在右边,电钻也是右撇子安全。显微镜的聚焦柄在右边。
4. 计算机:鼠标,基本上都是右手鼠标书。
5. 音乐:所有弦拨和键盘乐器等等许多用品都是为右撇子设计的,左撇子用起来会显得有些笨手笨脚,钢琴是明显的例子,但是即使小号左手也难于演奏。
调笛子时不碰到别人有时是种挑战,但实际上老师会觉得很有趣。
吉它尤其不便。
(实际上,演奏大提琴会容易点,因为它实际上需要左手更精确协调。)
6. 运动
射击、箭术(右侧弓)、棒球
7. 器械
剪刀。照像机的快门在右边。手机,右手操作方便。

1. Handwriting
· After writing a long paper, the whole side of my hand will be completely blackened from the lead I smeared with it. Avoid using erasable pen & soft-leaded pencils; also markers that remain wet or fountain pens. White boards are really difficult to use, particularly at school when we have to write fast then copy from the board into our books.
· mirror writing, eg. Very untidy and forming letters backwards so instead of going anti-clockwise to write'O', I go clockwise
· Also digging hole in paper with pen tip

2. Clashing elbows at shared desks
3. Safety
The safety blade on a power saw was on the side for right handers.
Most of our equipment is designed for right-handers, such as focusing knobs only on the right side of a microscope.
Electric drill is designed for right-handers.
4. Computer
Mouse is designed for right handers.
5. music
Most instruments require the right hand to be more dexterous (which isn't a pun!) The piano is an obvious example, but even a trumpet is difficult to play left-handed.
Balancing a flute without hitting the next person was sometimes a challenge, but actually pretty funny for the teachers.
Actually, it made playing cello easier, because (once you get past the beginning stages) the left hand actually requires more fine-motor coordination.
6. Sports
Shooting, archery (righty bows), Baseball, no righty gloves.
7. Equipment
Scissors. Camera. Mobil telephone.
