令人匪夷所思的索契双马桶


  You may be forgiven for thinking you're seeing double but this bathroom at the Sochi Olympics venue in Russia does in fact features two toilets situated side-by-side.

  看到这张图片如果你以为自己眼花了,但俄罗斯索契冬奥会的场馆的确有这么一个双马桶并排的洗手间。

  The photograph of the unusual cubicle inside the cross-country skiing and biathlon center has sparked an international Twitter storm after it was posted online.

  索契冬奥会的越野滑雪和冬季两项中心里这个小厕间的照片,刚被传上互联网就在社交网络中被人们疯传。

  BBC Moscow reporter Steve Rosenberg took the picture when he went to use the bathroom during a visit at the site ahead of next month's Winter Olympics in Sochi.

  尽管“双马桶”在俄罗斯并不常见,但社交网站的网友们都开始纷纷上传全国其他地方的联排马桶,其中包括法院和咖啡厅的洗手间。

  But the editor of the state R-Sport news agency said such communal toilets are standard at Russian soccer stadiums.

  不过俄罗斯R-Sport通讯社的编辑说,像这样的公共厕所在俄罗斯足球体育馆很常见。

  同时,也有人把它和俄罗斯禁止“宣传同性恋”引发的争议联系起来,曾有国际运动者因此禁令抵制2月份的冬奥会。

  还有人说第二个马桶是为一名安保人员准备的,借此对索契冬奥会的强制性安保措施表示敬重。
