Passengers on Moscow's underground system can now access a toilet for the first time - but only at one station.
莫斯科地鐵體系的搭客如今終究能用上洗手間了，這照樣破天荒頭一遭，不外只有一個站點設了洗手間。
The single "bio toilet" has been installed on a platform at Prospekt Mira metro station, about 3km (1.8 miles) north of Red Square, and is free to use, the Tass news agency reports. Passengers access the new loo using their travel cards, and the cubicle has sensors to alert people if they leave any possessions behind. There's also an alarm which sounds if someone has been inside more than 15 minutes, the report says.
依據塔斯社報導，這間自力的“生態洗手間”設立於寧靜大道地鐵站，處於紅場北部約3千米(1.8英裏)處，可免費應用。搭客憑搭車卡就可以進入這間新茅廁，其內部還設有感到裝配，有人遺落物品時會發出警報。報導還稱，如有人在內裏待上跨越15分鐘，亦會發出警報聲。
The city's huge metro system serves about seven million people per day across 196 stations, and travellers have long called for toilets to be installed. Above-ground public facilities in the Russian capital are few and far between, often dirty and usually charge a fee.
莫斯科宏大的地鐵體系共有196個站點，天天輸送搭客約七百萬人次，搭客們很早就號令在地鐵站內設立洗手間。俄羅斯都城的地面大眾舉措措施少而稀，並且平日很臟還要收費。
The new toilet is being billed as environmentally friendly and metro officials say other travellers won't be troubled by any leaks or smells. "It's a self-contained unit that doesn't need connection to sewage or water mains," says Ivan Ostashko, the metro's public relations chief. Whether this is the beginning of an underground toilet revolution isn't yet clear - the Prospekt Mira cubicle is just a pilot. "We'll study the results of this trial and decide whether to install toilets at other stations," Mr Ostashko says.
這間新建的茅廁被宣揚為情況友愛型的茅廁，地鐵體系的官員稱其他搭客不會遭到任何茅廁泄露物或氣息的影響。地鐵大眾幹系主任伊萬·奧斯塔申科表現：“這是一間自成一體的洗手間，不須要外連到排汙或下水管道。” 該舉動是不是為莫斯科地鐵洗手間改造的開始，還尚不明白——寧靜大道地鐵站的洗手間只是一個試點。奧斯塔申科說：“咱們將對這次試點成果舉行研討，再決議是不是於其他地鐵站也設立洗手間。”
