耶鲁大学使用厕所经历体验美国厕所文化 |

Everybody staying at a certain place long enough needs to know where the toilet is. I tried to find one when I first visited the Divinity School Library， the oldest school in Yale University： I tried to find the signs with words such as WC， Ladies， Bathroom， and Washroom. I used all the knowledge I had about toilet， but I could not find one. My common sense told me that it was impossible not to find one in the library， so I kept trying. Eventually I found a door on which was a single word： WOMEN. 任何人在一个地方停留一段时间，就需要知道厕所在哪里。当我第一次到耶鲁大学神学院图书馆时——神学院是耶鲁大学最老的学院，我就想找厕所。我首先找“WC”，“Ladies”，“Bathroom”和“Washroom”等字样，我几乎用了我学过有关厕所的所有词汇，但还是没有找到。生活常识告诉我，在这么大的图书馆没有厕所是不可能的，我又继续寻找，最后找到标有“WOMEN”字样的门。 Although it did not look at all like a toilet， I assumed it must be one. And because I couldn’t wait any longer， I had to try it. As I opened the door， I was sure I made a mistake， so I came out immediately. For what I had entered was a room much larger than my living room in Beijing， with a standing lamp by an antique-like table on a beautiful green carpet. On one side of the room， there was a very decent brown sofa， above which there was a wall mirrored up to the ceiling. There were two other sofas， by the side of the table. In one corner was a clothes hanger and in another corner was a big pot of green plants. It looked like a sitting room or lobby in a hotel. There was no sign of a toilet. But it was the only possible place a toilet could be. Then I remembered that there was another door in the room， so I went back in and opened the door. And there it was！ What relief！ I found it at last！ The toilet room was only half the size of the outer room. It had only two seats with two sinks. What luxury“！ It was like a two-room flat. 尽管从外表上看一点也不像厕所，但是直觉告诉我，这就是厕所。我确实也憋不住了，不得不去试一下。当我推开门时，我认定我弄错了，立即退了出来。因为我看到的房间比我在北京的客厅还要大。房间里铺着漂亮的绿色地毯，古色古香的桌子旁有一个落地台灯。房间的一侧放着一个相当漂亮的棕色长沙发，沙发上方有一个覆盖了一面墙的大镜子顶着天花板。房间的另一侧在桌子旁是一对单人沙发。房间的一角放着衣架，另一角放着一个种有绿色植物的大花盆，看上去像个豪华宾馆的休息室，一点不像厕所，但是这又是惟一可能是厕所的地方。纳闷时我记起这个房间里还有一个门，我决然走进去，把门打开。如释重负！我终于找到了厕所。它只有外面休息室一半大小的面积，有两个便座和两个洗手池、这太奢侈了！像是个两居室住所。 After I relieved myself， another question occurred to me： since it was impossible for such a big library to have only one toilet， I had to ask someone about toilets. A “Rest Room” is also a toilet. The “rest” had only one seat and it was unisex. Both women and men could use it by locking the door from the inside.实践证明经常访问无忧英语教育网 www.51education.net ,能迅速提高你的英语学习能力!积沙成塔,不断提高! 本站所提供的所有信息仅供学校课堂教学及英语学习者学习研究之用，其著作权归原作者及媒体所有。 |
