   搬到新家的时候,母亲为了我的洗手间煞费苦心,在不算宽敞的地方,她竟然装了一个洗脸池、一个马桶、一个浴池、两台洗衣机、三个壁橱和一个涮墩布的池子,按照目前的发展速度,估计以后还会装足浴盆。想起很多好莱坞电影中,女主角逃婚都是发生在洗手间,假借去厕所然后从窗户逃跑,虽是污秽之地,但人人每天必用,我们一起看看关于洗手间的口语。


  1. 关于WC
  国内非常常见的WC是古英语water closet,现已停用,我问美国朋友的时候他们反问是women conference的意思吗?一般说法请看下面一条。
  2. Mind if I used your bathroom?
  美语里家中的厕所用bathroom,在公共场所一般洗手间的说法是men’s room或lady’s room。
  3. New guys scrub the toilet.
  在美语里,toilet或者toilet bowl更多是指(抽水)马桶本身,而不是洗手间,scrub是刷的意思,在世界各地都有这样的好玩传统,就是刚加入团队的新人要做一些低级的工作,比如拎行李,刷马桶有时就是其中一项,这个句子不能翻译为刷洗手间。
  4. Is the lavatory 1 vacant\occupied?
  在飞机上,洗手间的英文说法是lavatory,外面的显示灯有两种表示,无人表示为vacant,有人表示为occupied。
  5. I'm on the john.
  俚语里john也指厕所或马桶(多为男厕),叫约翰的朋友请不要悲伤。
  除了最基本的功能以外,洗手间还可以用来照镜子、洗漱、洗澡、自己和自己对话、思考人生,这世界上最隐私的房间,你喜欢在里面做什么?

n.盥洗室,厕所
  • Is there any lavatory in this building?这座楼里有厕所吗?
  • The use of the lavatory has been suspended during take-off.在飞机起飞期间,盥洗室暂停使用。
