使用“person/people who/with”属于“people-first language”，具体释义见下文：

“People-first language (PFL), also called person-first language, is a type of linguistic prescription which puts a person before a diagnosis, describing what condition a person ‘has’ rather than asserting what a person ‘is’. It is intended to avoid marginalization or dehumanization (either consciously or subconsciously) when discussing people with a chronic illness or disability. It can be seen as a type of disability etiquette but person-first language can also be more generally applied to any group that would otherwise be defined or mentally categorized by a condition or trait (for example, race, age, or appearance).

Person-first language avoids using labels or adjectives to define someone, using terms such as ‘a person with diabetes’ instead of ‘a diabetic’ or ‘a person with alcoholism’ instead of ‘an alcoholic’. The intention is that a person is seen foremost as a person and only secondly as a person with some trait, which does not inevitably define their essence; it avoids essentializing the condition as their prime identity as a human being. Advocates of person-first language point to the failure to mentally separate the person from the trait as reinforcing a sense that both the trait and the person are inherently bad or inferior, leading to discrimination whilst also implicitly reinforcing a sense of permanency even regarding issues that are likely to be temporary. For example, a person with a substance use disorder has a fair chance of achieving long-term remission—many years in which they are healthy and productive—but calling them a ‘substance abuser’ reinforces an unspoken sense that they are inherently and permanently tainted and casts doubt on maintenance of remission.”

从上文可以看出，“people-first language”就是把人放在首位，然后再描述人所处的状况，而使用形容词这种带有贴标签性质的方式，强调的是某种特性是天生固有的。那么在描述残疾人的残疾状况时，为表示尊重，英文建议使用“person/people who/with”，中文建议使用“对症状的客观描述+者/人士”。
