據(jù)中國(guó)媒體報(bào)道，上海正在試用一種無(wú)性別公共廁所，以此來(lái)減少女性排隊(duì)等待的時(shí)間。
The toilet, in a busy park in Pudong New Area, will have 10 unisex stalls, plus some urinals and a stall for disabled people.
這個(gè)廁所被安置在上海浦東新區(qū)一個(gè)人來(lái)人往的公園里，將會(huì)修建10個(gè)男女均可使用的隔間、以及一些小便池和殘疾人專用的如廁設(shè)施。
The opening on 19 November will coincide with World Toilet Day.
這個(gè)無(wú)性別廁所將在11月19日“世界廁所日”那天正式投入使用。
"It is an apparent problem that women have to wait in lines for toilets," Fu Liping, an official involved in the project, was quoted as saying, by the Xinhua news agency.
新華社援引參與該項(xiàng)目的官員付麗萍的話說(shuō)：“很明顯的一個(gè)問(wèn)題就是，女性（在人多的時(shí)候）不得不在廁所內(nèi)排隊(duì)等候如廁。”
The stalls will be more spacious than regular ones. To guarantee safety and privacy, there will be attendants and higher partitions between stalls.
男女通用的廁所隔間要比普通的隔間寬敞一些。為了保障安全和隱私，新廁所內(nèi)將會(huì)服務(wù)人員，隔間之間的墻壁也會(huì)更高一些。
But there are no plans yet to build more unisex toilets, as authorities are unsure whether citizens will embrace the idea.
但是目前并沒(méi)有要建造更多無(wú)性別廁所的計(jì)劃，因?yàn)橛嘘P(guān)部門不確定市民們是否會(huì)認(rèn)可這一想法。
Their caution seem to be well-grounded, as people online have been less than enthusiastic about the unisex lavatory.
他們的慎重似乎是有根據(jù)的，因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)友對(duì)這個(gè)男女混用的廁所不太感興趣。
"I don't really support the idea. After all, men and female are different," said Weibo user Zhu Zhu Xia.

Another Weibo user said: "The problem will be solved if they build double female toilets."
另一名微博用戶則說(shuō)道：“如果他們建兩個(gè)女廁所的話，問(wèn)題就能夠解決了?！?/p>
