纽约酒店现透明厕所 如厕“春光”一览无余

It is the 10-foot windows lining the walls that make bathroom users are entirely visible to people on the street.

Visitors using the restrooms on the 18th floor of an exclusive New York hotel may get stunning views of the city below through floor-to-ceiling windows - but unfortunately people on the street can see them too.

It is the 10-foot windows lining the walls that make bathroom users at the Boom Boom Room club at the swanky Standard Hotel in Manhattan are entirely visible to people on the street, the Daily Mail reported.

The windows are visible to tourists visiting the High Line park, a public area which is built on an historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan's Meatpacking District.

Rows of bathrooms line the walls of the building with users sitting close enough to the windows for passersby to see them sitting and relieving themselves.

But some patrons said they do not care about their very public display, with one man even waving to people below as he used the toilet.

纽约一家酒店近日因“透明厕所”备受关注。这家酒店在18层的厕所里安装了一个透明玻璃窗。客人在这里如厕，美丽的室外景色尽收眼底，但不幸的是街上的行人也可以看到他们的一举一动。

据英国《每日邮报》报道，透过这面10英尺高的玻璃墙，在时髦的“碰碰屋”俱乐部如厕的人的一举一动，被街上行人一览无余。

来纽约高线公园游玩的游客都能看到这一“景观”。高线公园是一片公共区域，建立在一段有历史意义的货运高架铁路上，这段高架铁路穿行于曼哈顿肉库区街道的上方。

建筑沿墙有一排卫生间，马桶距离窗户也非常近，街上的行人可以看到他们蹲下如厕。

但也有顾客表示并不在乎如厕情景被“展示”，甚至还有人在如厕时朝楼下挥手。
