a ballet step or movement
A small movement or step in ballet dancing.
用法模式：
a pas in [a ballet / a dance]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "pas" with the English word "pass" or think it can be used for any kind of step. In modern English, "pas" on its own is mostly used in ballet and other classical dance, not for everyday walking steps.
近义词
step (General word; can be used for any type of movement, not only ballet.)
|
movement (Stresses the motion of the body rather than its classification in ballet technique.)
反义词
stillness (Describes not moving, which contrasts with performing a dance step.)

the right of social precedence
The special right to come first or to be more important than another person in a social situation.
用法模式：
to give the pas to [someone]
常见错误：
Because this use of "pas" is rare and old-fashioned, learners may try to use it in modern speech instead of common words like "priority" or "precedence". It is better to avoid this sense except when reading older literature or historical writing.
近义词
precedence (Neutral, modern term; does not have the old-fashioned French flavor of "pas".)
|
priority (Emphasizes being considered more important or coming first, but is broader than ceremonial rank.)
反义词
inferiority (Suggests a lower rank or status, the opposite of having the right to come first.)
