Anti-sex toilets to be built
英国公厕装'防情侣'设施



A Welsh seaside town plans to install public toilets with measures to prevent people having sex inside. Porthcawl, on Wales' southern coast, plans to replace its public toilets with models that include a squealing alarm, the doors shooting open, and a chilly spray of water. The toilets will cost Porthcawl Town Council £170,000, while users will pay an as yet undetermined fee to access them. 
英国威尔士一个海滨小镇计划在公厕里安装干扰设施,防止人们在公厕中"情难自控"。位于威尔士南部海滨的波斯考尔计划对现有公厕进行改造,改造后的公厕将设有高音警报、厕所门可突然打开,同时喷出凉水。波斯考尔镇议会将花费17万英镑打造新公厕,使用这些厕所也将收费,收费标准目前未定。


Movement sensors inside the toilets will respond to "violent" activity, while weight sensors will be installed to detect the entrance of more than one person, triggering the deterrent measures. The toilets have also been designed to prevent rough sleepers taking shelter inside: If a user remains in the toilet for too long, a warning message will play, while the lights and heating will switch off. 
公厕里安装的运动传感器将对"剧烈"运动产生反应,同时重量传感器一旦感应出超过1人的重量,便会触发警戒措施。公厕设计还能防止流浪者将其占为据点:如果使用者在里面滞留时间过长,公厕将发出声音警告、灯和暖气将会关闭。
