　　中国公厕的臭味

　　The Telegraph: After three years of research, Chinese scientists say they can turn even the most putrid¹ public lavatory² into a sweet-smelling sanctuary³.

　　Many people believe that entering a public lavatory in China can be a horrifying⁴ experience.

　　In smaller cities, or the countryside, the sight of an open trench⁵, coupled with a suffocating⁶ stench of sulphur and ammonia, is often enough to send even the bravest tourist whimpering back to their hotel.

　　Today, however, Chinese scientists have claimed victory in their battle to improve public rest rooms, unveiling a bacterial⁷ spray that can, they say, almost eliminate the smell of putrefaction⁸.
