世界廁所日：“加速變革”下的中外行動
你知道嗎？每個人一生中，平均有3年是在廁所度過的。
Do you know that everyone worldwide spends an average of three years on the toilet?
每年11月19日，是聯合國設立的“世界廁所日”。這一天，世界各地都會舉辦以“廁所”為主題的活動，推動社會改善環境衛生以及建立良好衛生習慣。
November 19 is the World Toilet Day established by the United Nations. On this day, toilet-themed activities are held all over the world to encourage the public to improve sanitation and establish good hygiene practices.
廁所既是為人們提供方便的所在，也是衡量一個國家文明程度的重要標誌。
Toilet is not only a place to offer convenience for people, but also an important measurement of the civilized degree of a country.
新加坡是世界廁所組織的創始國，這裡也誕生了首家世界廁所學院。學院創立的目的，是改變人們將打掃廁所看成“下等勞動”的觀念，增強工作人員的能力並幫助他們提高薪水。
Singapore is the founding country of the World Toilet Organization, and home to the first World Toilet College. The college was created to change the "inferior work" perception of toilet cleaning, improve the working skills of related professionals and help boost their salaries.
南韓把廁所叫做“化粧室”，人們可以在廁所休息區與朋友聊天、休息，而這些改變源於南韓制定的“廁所法”，對公廁實施嚴格評價認證制度，使廁所面貌煥然一新。In South Korea, toiletsare also called "make-up rooms," where people can chat and rest with friends in the toilets' rest area. These changes stem from the Public Toilet Act formulated by the government, which implements a strict evaluation and certification system for public toilets, leaving them with fresh new looks.
人們為了掩蓋上廁所的聲音，有時會在上廁所的同時沖水。在日本，公共衛生間會設計播放音樂，減少了水資源和公眾設施的浪費。
In order to cover up the sound of going to the toilet, people sometimes flush while using the facility. In Japan, some public toilets are featured with music play to reduce the waste of water resources and public facilities.
比爾·蓋茨曾説，人人都應當享有安全的衛生設施。在世界最貧窮和最邊緣化的地區，如廁問題卻往往無人關注。目前，世界上仍有35億人沒有安全的廁所。
Bill Gates once said that everyone should have access to safe sanitation facilities.However, in the poorest and most marginalized areas of the world, the poor access to toilets is often ignored.At present, 3.5 billion people in the world lack access to safe toilets.
今年世界廁所日的主題是“加速變革”。如今，推進廁所糞污無害化處理和資源化利用成為了中國鄉村振興戰略的重要一環。
This year's World Toilet Dayfocuses on the theme of"Accelerating Change." Today, promoting the harmless treatment and resource utilization of toilet waste has become an important part of China's rural revitalization drive.
在京郊農村，不依賴集中下水管網的“新世代廁所”使廁所衛生系統不僅可以保護社區免受人類排泄物中病原體的侵害，還可以將其轉化成具有實際價值的能源、有機肥和可使用的水等。
In the rural suburbs of Beijing, Reinvented Toilet which do not rely on a centralized sewer network are in use. They enable toilet sanitation systems not only to protect communities from pathogens in human waste, but also to convert them into things of practical valuesuch as energy, organic fertilizer, and usable water.
而在安徽蚌埠，自迴圈一體化糞污處理裝置“萬能處理器”（Omni-Processor）僅佔地約兩個籃球場的大小，可以為50萬人左右的城鎮提供服務，實現糞污的無害化處理與資源化利用，完成“最後一公里”。
BengbuCity in east China's Anhui Provincehas seen the use of Omni-Processor, a self-circulating integrated manure treatment device. Covering only an area of about two basketball courts, the device can provide services for towns with about 500,000 people, realizing harmless treatment and resource utilization of manurein the remote regions.
聯合國報告顯示，距離“到2030年為所有人提供安全的廁所和水”這一目標還差得很遠。蜂鳥是今年世界廁所日和世界水日的象徵，在一個古老的故事中，一隻蜂鳥用嘴銜著水滴，竭盡全力撲滅大火——它的行動儘管非常微小，卻在應對一個大問題。
A UN report showed that the world is still far away from achieving the goal of providing safe toilets and water for all by 2030. The hummingbird is the symbol of this year's World Toilet Day and World Water Day. In an ancient tale, a hummingbird, by carrying droplets of water in its beak, does what it can to fight a great fire. Its action, though very small, is helping solve a big problem.
