Toilet(英国的卫生间)在英国要想说 “厕所”可以用toilet,注意只有用其复数形式 “toilets” 的时候才可以表示 “由多个卫生间组成的公共厕所”。Toilet原本是单纯地指抽水马桶。所以在美国人心目中,这个单词仍然仅有“抽水马桶”含义,如果你问一个美国人“Where is the toilet?”一定会给他留下心理阴影,因为大部分美国人会觉得“toilet”太直白不文雅。 所以,在英国,toilet可以随便用;在美国可要慎重了!
1.Public lavatory意为“公厕”,在公共场所,厕所门上都标有Gent' s(男厕),或Ladies' (女厕),有时也标有Men' s, Men' s room, Gentleman' s, Women' s Women' s room.如:Where is the Gent' s?(厕所在哪儿?)If you would like a wash, the Gentleman' s is just over there.(如果要上厕所,男厕就在那边。) 2.toilet是最常用的一个词 3.lavatory是个过时的词,但不如toilet常用。 4.bathroom是书面语。 5.loo是一个口在英国用得很普通,主要指私人住宅中的厕所,这个主要就是朋友之间用的。如:Excuse me, would you like to tell me where the loo is?(请问,厕所在哪儿?) 6.powder room是美语,女士常用 7.wash room, washing room, westroom常用于美国英语 8.W.C.是water closet的缩写,其实就是我们说的茅房的感觉其实现在正儿八经的厕所,如酒店,机场的厕所,就用washroom最多了
