可以用洗手间吗？(中文在下面）
chris eberhardt/汪哲伟
Last week I met an old classmate in a New York park. Because there were no public restrooms in the park, I noticed a man in front of us use a cup. I'm assuming this man was homeless and I don't think my classmate noticed, in part because the man put the cup inside his pants.
Last summer I met a classmate in Beijing who is studying public toilets. It seems that Beijing has a lot of public toilets. Many of the old Hutongs do not have bathrooms, so residents and street merchants both use the public toilets. I do not know if homeless can use the restrooms because I did not use many public toilets. Today this classmate told me that China has a play about public toilets and a character who explains the lessons he has learned from from the public toilets. In the United States websites can help people to find bathrooms, in libraries or fast food restaurants, etc. , might be thought of as the wonders of social media.
Arjuan Appadurai writes about those that live their entire lives on the streets of Mumbai, and they also don't have restrooms, instead using the streets they live on. My mom says that if the restroom in a restaurant is not clean, than the restaurant is not good and you shouldn't eat there. What does it say if a society does not have public restrooms?
上个星期一我跟一个老同学在一个纽约的公园见面 。因为这个公园没有公用卫生间，所以我看到一个人用一杯子。我觉得这个人没有家，也觉得我得同学没有注意到他在做什么 因为杯子在他的裤子里。
上个夏天我跟一个同学见面在北京。她研究北京的公用卫生间 。看来北京有很多公用卫生间。我听说住在北京胡同的人没有独立的洗手间。所以当地的居民和路边做生意的人都使用公用卫生间。因为我不常用公用卫生间 ，所一所以不知道要是没有家的人用公用卫生间。今天这个同学告诉我中国有关于洗手间的小品。一个男孩子说公洗手间是他的第一个学校。在美国，人们可以通过 网给找到附近餐馆，快餐店或其他地方的找洗手间 。
Arjun Appadurai写到在Mumbai几人一生都在路上住。他们也没有洗手间，在路上方便。我的妈妈说，如果一家饭馆的洗手间不干净，那么家饭馆不好。如果社会没有公用卫生间，什么意义？
谢谢代旭， 你给我帮助。
