在一個性工作和法律的研討會上,有學者說一些國家已把性工作非刑事化,香港在這方面看來落後。Hong Kong seems to be lagging, speakers at a seminar on sex work and the law said。一個大學職業講座的講者說香港學生在創意、世界觀和溝通技巧方面落後於外國。Students lag world in business skills。有報道說,由於香港工人的預算平均加薪幅度落後於通脹,明年會更窮。Hong Kong workers will grow poorer next year as their projected average pay increase will lag behind inflation。
Lag 是「落後、落在後面」的意思。它是動詞,其他例子:As far as prison reform is concerned, we lagged behind a lot of other countries for years 是「在監獄改革方面,我們落後於許多國家好幾年」,Their software tends to lag behind other producers 是「他們的軟件落後於其他生產商」。
