瞬间秒杀听力 第535期:厕所在哪里

 

You're walking along¹ the street. 

You need to go to the washroom desperately².

What do you do? Don't worry.

Someone³ in San Francisco

has invented⁴ a self-cleaning public⁵ toilet.

The toilet cleans itself⁶.

The seat⁷ goes back into the wall

where it is washed and blow-dried.

You must be quick,though.

You've only got⁸ 20 minutes to "do your business⁹."

Then, there's a 2-minute warning¹⁰

before the door opens.

When it does, you'd better be ready

or your face will be red!

你正走在街上，非常非常想上洗手间。

你该怎么办?别担心，

在旧金山有人已经发明了一种自我清洗的公厕。

这种厕所会自动清洗干净。

马桶使用后会缩进墙里，

并在那里洗净吹干，但动作要快，

你只有20分钟可以“办事”。

在门打开前两分钟会有一次警告，

等门自动打开时，

你最好已经完事，不然你可要脸红了！
