用英语询问洗手间

 你需要知道的最重要的事情之一是怎么用英语询问。想象一下需要上洗手间时但找不到的时候吧！ 

 

在英国（因此使用英式英语），人们一般会直接了当地问 

 

Could you tell me where the bathroom is please? 

Where are the toilets please? 

Where are the ladies’/gents’ please? 

Are there are any public toilets nearby please? 

 

有时你可能会听到人们使用俚语，就像是 

Excuse me, but where is the loo? 

I’m just going for a patter on the porcelain¹. 

I’m just off to point Percy at the porcelain. 

 

在美国，人们问得就相对腼腆 

Could you tell me where the restroom is please? 

Where is the ladies’/men’s room please? 

 

你也可能会听到他们使用俚语，就像是 

Where is the John? 

I’m going to the head. 

I need to take a leak. 

1 porcelain   

n.瓷；adj.瓷的，瓷制的

参考例句：

• These porcelain plates have rather original designs on them.这些瓷盘的花纹很别致。
• The porcelain vase is enveloped in cotton.瓷花瓶用棉花裹着。
