Public toilets in the United States are all tiled floors, and their cleaning agents are of good quality, and they are dedicated to tiles. Spray cleaning agent, the dirt of stolen goods can be removed effortlessly, and it also has polishing effect. No matter in the airport, railway station, shopping mall or restaurant, the tiles in the bathroom are clean and bright. American toilet cleaners all go to work at night 1 1 and get off work at 7: 00 in the morning, avoiding the use time. Cleaners have various benefits, including medical insurance and pension, and they are supported and helped by trade unions. They can't be dismissed without clear reasons, and the hourly salary ranges from 6- 14 dollars. This is a job that people without degrees or skills are scrambling to do.
There is no decent or indecent professional vanity in America, only the difference between having money and having no money. Being a cleaner earns almost as much money as being a reporter, or even more. They can drive the same car, live in the same house and go to the same social occasions. Where journalists can go, so can cleaners. A reporter today will be fired tomorrow morning, and a cleaner will be recruited the day after tomorrow, so the reporter will become a cleaner. The cleaner passed the exam and can be a reporter tomorrow. Loose employment relationship and system make society a pool of living water.
American cleaners clean and push a car, which is actually a small bucket with four wheels under it. A bucket is like an apron, with layers of pockets, and each pocket contains a different detergent. To do this kind of work, you should also be licensed and specially trained. You should know the ingredients of various detergents, how to use them, the prevention of harm to human body, and the maintenance of cleaning items. And the exam is very strict. Before going abroad, I heard that a friend we knew went to America to brush toilets. I didn't know until I got to the United States that they were slandering him with the hierarchical concept of China people. This is actually flattering him. China people who have just come to the United States are definitely not qualified for this job.
You can't see the urinal as soon as the American toilet opens. They all have a small aisle. This design is a civilization. Didn't you see someone carrying pants as soon as you opened the door? Each urinal is a single room, with clothes hooks on the door, some iron plates that can be put down, and springs for putting schoolbags or things that are afraid of falling. There must be three kinds of paper in every toilet, toilet paper, toilet paper and toilet paper. There is also soap for washing hands, which drips when you touch it. In some public toilets, the faucet is put by hand, and the switch is replaced by induction. Without twisting, the water automatically flows down, and the water stops as soon as the hand leaves. There is an automatic machine under the wall, which is equipped with toilet paper for women. There is a charge for this automatic coin service. There is also a small hanging board with a spring hinge hook on the wall, which is a hammock for changing diapers for children.
Public toilets generally have large mirrors for makeup. American women put on makeup in the morning and bring a small bag of cosmetic box to make up. Make up where the makeup has fallen off. People always wear makeup in public toilets, and there are electric plugs in the toilets for women to blow their hair. In the United States, the outside of the public toilet is the lounge. Because the toilet has no smell at all, people sit there, which is a resting place for women to change their evening makeup and go out for dinner and parties after work. The clothes they wear to work are very serious, and the clothes they wear when they go out at night are often bright and revealing.
American family toilets are an important symbol of house prices. In addition to a good location, the house depends on how the toilet is. American family toilets are usually shared with toilets, and handicrafts and flowers are hung on the walls. For families with children, the toilet has a series of children's toiletries. The net bag is full of plastic boats and small fish that can swim in the bathtub. Small fish measure water temperature. If the water gets a little cold, the little goldfish will blink and squeak, and mother will heat the water quickly.
Most adult bathrooms have ultraviolet lights, toilet radios, ventilation holes and windows, all of which are toilet seats. When I returned to China with Guang from 65438 to 0995, I neglected an important issue. He never squatted when he was a child. When he arrived in China, he squatted in the old house in the northeast, and going to the toilet every day became a big burden for him. As soon as I heard that he had to go to the toilet, the whole family was nervous. In those days, friends invited us to dinner. As soon as I wanted to go out, he asked how the toilet was, and my brother laughed and cried.
Whenever foreigners have been to China, the biggest complaint after returning is the toilet. There is an American woman doctor. She was in trouble emotionally and was very bitter in heart. I just want to go back to China. I said you should come back to China with me. The first thing she said was, is the toilet there good? Stop me from going back at once, I dare say, okay?
Chinese newspapers in the United States once disclosed that public toilets in China scared away foreign businessmen and lost $4 million in business, because foreign businessmen stayed in high-end hotels but could not stay outside, and public toilets made them embarrassed.
Prose-like advertising language
Scientific management in the United States is not only reflected in internal operation, but also in orderly life everywhere. From the moment you entered the customs, the smiles of the customs staff and the notices of various civilizations made you feel the spring breeze immediately.
Above the head, there is a standard small sign hanging in a conspicuous place, indicating the place to pick up luggage, and indicating the direction with arrows. Both men's toilets and women's toilets are marked with patterns of women in skirts and men in uniforms.
The language of notices in public places is also very polite. Sometimes I see that the toilet is broken. If you are in China, there must be a big piece of paper written in black and white: "Broken"! In America, I met several times when the toilet was broken. Most of the notices read: "Sorry, the toilet can't be used, and it will be restored after a while. Please go to such and such place at this inconvenient time (for example, on the left side of the second floor, on the south side of the opposite building). We know this will cause you inconvenience, and we apologize here. I'm sorry. " So in America, everyone smiles and everyone is polite. Even children seldom quarrel.
Get off the train in China and look for a toilet. Nail a big board on the door and don't even write "broken". No matter how knowledgeable you are, whether you are holding back shit or urine, it is strange that you don't frown and want to lose your temper. Run to a place where no one walks, and it only says no defecation anywhere. If you write down where you should pee, who wants to look around and risk being fined? Even if you are a doctor, you should get off the train first and be rude to your motherland.
American shops usually have clean floors. Just after cleaning, there was a sign on the floor, "Attention, the floor is slippery". This brand is standardized, and all stores are the same. This color and size can be regarded as a sign to remind the road to be slippery.
At the construction site, all are intercepted with yellow belts, and the words "attention" are printed on the belts at intervals. A few blocks away, there are orange cones along the road, and another road sign says the road ahead, which is used to build roads all over the United States. And be sure to indicate when the road will be repaired and when. When repairing this road, which road can be crossed is not only as clear as the road sign, but also clear on the morning broadcast. The road signs on the expressway are more unified and clear.
Most of the love for America begins with the highway. The speed ahead 15 miles, the narrow road ahead, the one-way street ahead and stopping at the corner are all clear. 1989 just came to America, just in time for the earthquake. Everyone was busy going home that night, but under the instructions of traffic signs, all Americans stopped at the right time and slowed down when it was time to slow down. I was moved by this civilization for the first time.
In China, you often see a notice that no entry is allowed, while in the United States, you often write "People who work here can enter", which is always a gentle warning to people. Privacy is used in many places and is often translated into privacy in English-Chinese dictionaries. This word is the key word of our cultural conflict between China and the United States. We really should find a suitable word. When you look at privacy, it's none of your business, so leave it alone.
Going back to China to do business with relevant departments, there is a meeting at the door to study. I don't know when I can learn. I want to inquire about it. No one talks to you well, but they all talk while walking. No entry, no loud noise, no defecation everywhere. Some notices are also unclear.
A newspaper in the north, where there are so many intellectuals, has a department on the seventh floor at the elevator entrance, with only the fifth floor at the top, and there is no seventh floor at all. Asked where the seventh floor was, they all said there was no seventh floor, and asked where a certain department was, saying that they got on the elevator from another place, got out of the fifth floor and climbed to the seventh floor, so they went back to the first floor and got on another entrance.
I believe in newspapers, so some people in big newspapers must be able to understand this notice, and most journalists must also be able to understand it. Why not? Our quality of life is always poor. No one will think about how to make our life better, more convenient and more comfortable. Especially in places like hospitals and crematoriums, the notices are not clear, and people walk at will, which is very distressing. Is it really difficult? As long as you spend a little time and effort, you can make it clear and provide convenience.
There are many shops with big sales. Take a big piece of paper shell and write casually. Ugly and rough. What a big deal? No sense of wholeness. There are many cultural units, such as the city library, where all the people come in and out are scholars, and a notice is casually posted on the big glass door, and the language is blunt. In fact, notification is also an art. Notification is not an order or an ultimatum, but a way of equal communication. If you know this article, you can write a beautiful notice. How rich the languages in China are!
