场景:小红男性朋友上周去面试,进面试室之前去了趟洗手间,结果发现监控摄像头,他保持微笑地对着镜头说了声“你好”,出门左转就撤了,没想到这事儿被曝光了。
Xiaohong:Xiaohua, do you think is it legal for employers to install cameras in company bathrooms?
小红:小华,你认为雇主在公司卫生间安装摄像头合法吗?
Xiaohua:Wow, that blew my mind. I think it would be unlawful for companies to record behaviors in these locations.
小华:哇,太让我感到惊讶了。我认为公司在这些地点记录行为是违法的。
Xiaohong:My friend told me last week that before he went for a job interview, he used the men's restroom of the company. He found a security camera pointed at him. He smiled at the camera and felt embarrassed.
小红:我的朋友上周告诉我,在他去面试之前,他去了公司的男厕。他发现一个监控摄像头正对着他。他对着镜头微笑,感到很尴尬。
Xiaohua:Why did the company put a camera in the men's restroom?
小华:为什么公司要在男厕所装摄像头?
Xiaohong:Well, it's said that the camera can reduce smoking, and therefore, keep the employees safe and secure, as much as possible.
小红:嗯,据说摄像头可以减少吸烟,因此,尽可能地保证员工的安全。
Xiaohua:Come on! Bathrooms are nearly always considered an area where someone can expect privacy. Because of that, security cameras aren't allowed in bathrooms.
小华:得了吧。洗手间几乎总是被认为是人们可以期待隐私的地方。正因为如此,洗手间里不允许有摄像头。
Xiaohong:Yes, that's true. But I still don't know why people tend to smoke or spit while in bathrooms.
小红:是的,没错。但我还是不知道为什么人们喜欢在厕所抽烟或吐痰。
Xiaohua:Well, you're getting off the topic.
小华:嗯,你跑题了。

场景:监控设备安装在学校有何用?小红愿意和大家一起深入探讨。
Violence in schools usually happens in hidden areas. That is why the school administration may set up security cameras in public bathrooms. These cameras can reduce smoking and violence in schools. What's more, these cameras must be stationary, meaning that they cannot be moved, zoomed in or out, and angled. Also, they must point at common areas of public bathrooms only. For instance, the wash stations. Pointing the cameras at stalls and mirrors is not allowed. 
校园暴力通常发生在隐蔽的地方。这就是为什么学校管理部门可能会在公共厕所设置安全摄像头。这些摄像头可以减少校园里的吸烟和暴力事件。更重要的是,这些相机必须是静止的,这意味着它们不能移动,不能放大或缩小,也不能倾斜。此外,它们必须只指向公共厕所的公共区域。例如,洗漱台。不允许将摄像机对准小隔间和镜子。
As technology advanced, top schools in Australia are taking extreme measures to stop an alarming rise in student vaping(吸电子烟). New vape-detecting technology is being used in bathrooms that sends an alert to staff. Why not companies use advanced technology instead? 
随着科技的进步,澳大利亚的顶尖学校正在采取极端措施,以阻止学生吸电子烟的人数激增。新的电子烟检测技术正在洗手间中使用,它会向工作人员发送警报。企业为什么不使用先进技术呢?
Well, why people feel the urge to spit while smoking is truly unknown to me. Can you explain this to me? Thanks. 
嗯,我真的不知道为什么人们在吸烟的时候会有吐痰的冲动。你能给我解释一下吗?谢谢。
