原文:

Nate: Hey Phil: Have you ever been to a Japanese public bath? I hear it's quite an experience.
 
Phil: Yes, and what an experience.
 
Nate: What do you mean?
 
Phil: Well, it's nothing like visiting a swimming pool in the States.
 
Nate: Well, what do you do when you go to a public bath?
 
Phil: First, you take off your shoes before you enter.
 
Nate: Okay.
 
Phil: Then, you pay an entrance fee to the man or woman at the front counter. [Um-huh]. Next, you get undressed in the dressing 1 room. And I was very surprised . . . and a little embarrassed to see that the woman who took my money was sitting on a platform where she had a clear view of the men's side of the dressing room. [Really?] This allows the workers to keep an eye on the patrons 2' belongings 3 while they are in the bath.
 
Nate: Wow. And do you wear a bathing suit or something?
 
Phil: Oh no! You don't wear anything. Then you go into the main bathing area and wash your body while sitting on a small stool 4 about 40 centimeters high.
 
Nate: On a stool!?
 
Phil: Yeah. It was really hard getting used to bathing in that position. Sometimes, even, people wash each other's backs.
 
Nate: Oh really. So, what do you do after that?
 
Phil: Well, after you've rinsed 5 off all the soap, they usually have two or three large baths where you can soak 6 for a while.
 
Nate: Do you actually share the bath with other people?
 
Phil: Yeah. Traditionally, the bath played an important role in the community. It gave neighbors an opportunity to socialize while bathing.
 
Nate: Huh. Interesting.
 
Phil: When you're all done bathing, people relax in the dressing room by watching TV, drinking tea or juice, or talking to friends. It's quite an experience.
