蹲厕手册

The "western" toilet is making inroads into China and in big citiesand airports, you'll find a few of them in the row of toilets inthe bathroom. However, there are still lots and lots and lots ofsquatty potties and likely as not, you'll venture into one. It'snot as hard as it seems, but it's good to know what you're gettinginto before you go.。。
“西方”座便式厕所现在已经在中国非常普遍了,大城市和机场里面基本都有,你也可以在浴室里面看到一排这样的厕所。然而,还是有超级超级超级多的蹲便式厕所存在着,如果你要去中国旅游了,那你可得试着冒冒险去用这样的厕所。不过其实也没有看起来那么难,但是学学怎么使用总是对你去中国旅游有点帮助。

1. Pack Tissues.
1. 装好卫生纸

Before you even leave the hotel, make sure you'vegot portable toilet paper with you. Lots of public restrooms don'tprovide it. Wet wipes and hand sanitizer are also good to havealong as if there's a sink, there may not be any soap, and probablyno towels either。
你离开酒店之前一定要检查一下自己有没有带卫生纸,因为中国的厕所是没纸的哦。消毒纸巾和洗手液也可以带上,如果厕所里有水池的话你能用得上,因为这里的厕所很少会提供肥皂,当然也不用想擦手的卫生纸了。

2. Plan Your Business 1.
2. 计划你的旅游A

"Preventive Peeing" or going before you gois a good way to avoid getting caught in a place that won't have anice toilet. (Nice doesn't necessarily mean Western by the way。)Pretend you're all five years old and make sure everyone goesbefore you leave the house。
“预防你的小便”或者说在你出发前你得想到你要去的地方可能没有一个让你觉得舒服的厕所(这里的舒服不是说只有俺们外国的才最舒服,中国的厕所其实没啥不好的)你就当自己是个五岁的小孩,出门前一定要尿尿。然后大家一起出发别落下任何一个人。

3. Plan Your Business 2.
3. 计划你的旅游B

If you're going to be out and about, thinkabout where you'll be and try to plan some pit-stops in between.Especially in big cities, international hotels, upscale restaurantsand shopping malls will have clean washrooms with most of theamenities (toilet paper, Western toilets, soap and towels).Placesto avoid using the bathroom: large markets (especially outdoormarkets), street-side public bathrooms (though they're improving),tourist spots。
如果你要出门,考虑一下你要去的地方在哪,计划哪里可以有停车休息站。尤其是在大城市,一些国际连锁酒店,高档餐厅和购物商场里会有很干净的洗手间,那里一般都会提供我们需要的便捷措施(比如卫生纸,我们用的座便,肥皂和擦手巾),不过请避免使用这些厕所:大超市(尤其是那种室外的超市),路边的公共厕所(即使现在已经改善很多了),还有就是旅游点的厕所。

4. Bag Hand-Off。
4.别带你的包

If you can, hand any unnecessary bags to a friend while you use thewashroom. There are generally no hooks and you'll need your handsto balance, to dig around your purse for tissues and to hold on tothe door if the lock is broken。
如果可以的话,去厕所前把你不必要的东西都让你的朋友保管,通常情况下这里没有挂钩让你挂包包,你要是拿着一堆东西去厕所你就得在里面努力保持平衡,然后在包里找你的卫生纸,如果那个门的锁坏了你还得把门扶着。
