Smaller toilet stall gaps

（纽约）把厕所隔间的缝隙整小一点吧。

I read/heard somewhere that it’s a safety thing, but I’m sure there has to be another way to keep someone safe other than building stalls with huge gaps, which kinda seems counterproductive to me haha

（回，康乃狄格）我在哪里读/听到过，说这是出于安全考虑，但我敢肯定，想要保护某人的安全，除了在建造隔间时留出很大的缝隙，肯定还有别的方式，在我看来，似乎有点适得其反了呵呵。

It started as an anti drug thing and now is more of a cheapo thing

（回）一开始是用来反毒品，而现在，倒更像是那种质量很次的便宜货了。

I'm sixty years old growing up in the U.S. and that's how public bathrooms have been constructed all my life. Let's just say, I've seen some ladies' rooms. That's normal.

（回）我六十岁了，是在美国长大的，我这辈子见过的公共澡堂一直都是这种建法。这么说得了，我也见识过一些女厕所，这种建法很正常。

In most of the world there’s no gap because you have to pay. In the US, supposedly it’s to see if there’s anyone in the stall when the alarm goes off or at closing.

（回）在全世界的大部分国家，这种缝隙都是完全不存在的，因为你必须付钱。而在美国，据说是为了在警报响起或是打烊时，能看清楚隔间内是否有人。

In public restrooms it is significantly cheaper to purchase those dividers and install them than to build full enclosed rooms with doors. Even the nicer stalls since they are less common tend to cost 25% more at a minimum and are less forgiving in shoddy installation. So most contractors will order the cheap crap unless spec’d out better, which builders rarely do as that means the bid comes in higher as well. And it just is t worth the extra money or effort at most of the locations where it is an issue(we aren’t talking upscale offices but gas stations). The difference between product is sometimes subtle but usually not even close.

（回）在公共厕所里，购买和安装这种隔板，要比建造带门的全封闭隔间便宜得多。就算是品质较好的隔间，由于不太常见，所以成本往往也会高出至少25%，而且也不太容许粗劣的安装方式。因此，大多数承包商会订购这些廉价的垃圾，除非有更好的设计，而建造者鲜少会这么做，因为这意味着投标价格也会水涨船高。而且，在大多数成问题的地方（我们谈论的不是高档办公室，而是加油站），真的不值得额外投入钱或精力。产品之间的差异有时候很微妙，但通常情况下，是差得很远的。

I've always wondered about the European complaints about toilet stall gaps.
What is the European obsession with the gaps in American toilet stalls if there isn't an epidemic of weirdos that are trying to peep through them?

（回）我一直都很好奇，欧洲人抱怨厕所隔板缝隙背后的原因。
如果怪人试图通过这些缝隙来偷窥的情况并不流行，那欧洲人对美国厕所隔间缝隙的痴迷又所为何来呢？

I want the Dutch approach to cycling and road design. Spent Covid watching Not Just Bikes on YouTube and getting cranky about how garbage bike lanes are in the us

（宾夕法尼亚）我想要的是用荷兰人的方法设计出来的自行车道和马路。我在油管上看了《不仅仅是自行车》，美国自行车道之垃圾让我抓狂。

American street and parking lot designers only think of the automobile. No one considers what happens when people park and try to walk into the store.

（回）美国街道和停车场的设计者只考虑到了机动车。人们停好车然后试图步行进商店时会遭遇的情况，就没有人考虑了。

100%. Especially as electric bikes get more popular this could really reduce car traffic and make cities cleaner/quieter.

（回，乔治亚）绝对的。特别是随着电动车越来越流行，此举真的能缓解汽车交通，还能让城市更安静、更干净。

Yes. And no one fire back with “We’ve got Amtrak!” I am four hours in all directions from the nearest station. That’s not an accessible system.

（回，德克萨斯）是的。而且不会有人用“我们有Amtrak（美铁）！”来回击的，我所在的地方，在所有方向上距离我最近的车站都需要四小时的路程。这不是一个好用的系统。

The largest town in Iowa with a stop is just the 18th largest town in the state.

（回，爱荷华）在爱荷华州，拥有车站的最大的镇，在这个州也只能排第十八。

We'll never do this because of risk of terrorism

Walkable cities

适宜步行的城市。

First you need everyone to move to the cities, which isn’t happening. In fact, the opposite is happening.

（回）首先，你需要让所有人往城市里搬，这种情况并没有发生。事实上，正在发生的是相反的情况。

High speed trans-continent trains.

（水牛城）横贯大陆的高速铁路。

It just doesn’t make sense with the sheer scale of the US tho

（回）但美国的国土这么辽阔，发展高铁完全不合理啊。

All that investment just to take longer than an airplane. Can’t imagine tickets would be much cheaper either

（回）投入了海量的资金，耗费的时间却比飞机长。无法想象票价会远远低于飞机票价。

What doesn't make sense is paying for high speed rail and never getting it, like in Wisconsin. We just sold our high speed rail cars for a massive loss after paying tens of millions for infrastructure we never got because of conservatives.

（回，威斯康星）说不通的是，为了建高铁花了钱，却永远得不到，威斯康星州就是这种情况。我们刚刚在蒙受巨大损失的情况下卖掉了我们的高铁车厢，此前我们已经为相关的基础设施支付了数千万的费用，但因为保守派，我们从来都没有得到过高铁。

China is same size and somehow they do it. I know their GDP Is way higher and education much better but we could try?

（回）中国的国土大小和我们相仿，但不知为何他们就做到了。我也知道他们的GDP高得多，教育方面也优越得多，但我们也是可以试试看的吧？

Safe reliable public transport. I hate driving aside from highways and country roads.
I hate worrying about having more than 2 beers when I go out.
And I fucking despise that my city plows the roads in winter but just lets 2.5 feet of snow sit on the sidewalk.

（俄亥俄）安全可靠的公共交通工具。我讨厌开车，高速公路和乡村道路除外。
我讨厌在外出时因为喝下了超过两瓶啤酒而提心吊胆。
我的城市在冬季时会对道路进行铲雪，却让2.5英尺厚的雪留在人行道上，我真TMD鄙视这种行为。

Universal health care is definitely the top of my list

（纽约）全民医保绝对能位列我清单的第一名。

Federally legal marijuana. It’s past time it was legal everywhere, people shouldn’t have to go to jail over it in this country.

（德州）在联邦层面上让大麻合法。过去，这玩意儿在每个地方都是合法的，在这个国家，人们不应该因为它而不得不去蹲监狱。

Obama could have done that and chose not to, but then after he left office he bemoaned the illegality of weed.

（回，南卡）奥巴马本可以做成这件事，却选择了不做，可是他在离任后，又在那儿哀叹大麻的非法。

Densely built cities with good transportation besides New York. I went to Paris and London when I was younger and it amazed me to live out in the suburbs and be able to walk a mile down the road to get on a train that could take me miles throughout the city.

除纽约外，建筑密度高且配套了便利交通的城市。我年轻的时候去过巴黎和伦敦，我当时住在郊区，可是在马路上走上一英里就能坐上一班能带我贯穿整座城市的火车，这让我很惊讶。

Walkable cities are so foreign to me as someone who grew up in one where driving is an ABSOLUTE necessity and most Americans can say the same. The ease of travel when I was in Europe was amazing and I hope more cities start building better transit and pedestrian areas

适宜步行的城市对我来说是如此陌生，因为我是在一个必须开车的城市里长大的，大多数美国人也是这种情况。我在欧洲的时候，旅行的便利程度简直惊人，我希望有更多的城市开始建设更好的交通运输系统和步行区。

Legal after party ? Like seriously why clubs close at 2 am?

能合法地在派对结束后继续浪？说实在的，为什么夜店（必须）在凌晨2点关门啊？

The anti-rave laws of the late 90’s, early 00’s are mostly the reason for that :(

（回）主要原因是九十年代末零零年代初的反狂欢派对法

It’s impressive how a country so individualistic is so conservative in some aspects

A real H&K MP5.

（蒙大拿）H&K公司出品的正版MP5冲锋枪
（译注：MP5冲锋枪因其为全自动武器，除非在1986年之前注册，否则不能在美国合法拥有，阉割后的半自动版本SP5K被归类为手枪在美国合法出售）

As a German I totally expectes German weapon manufacturers to turn up here.
In hotel where I worked we had regular from Texas who was a big time gun collector and was obssed wit German small arms. I learned that we Germans built the best weapons and Italians are the best engraver. He showed me a picture of his gun room and you could probably buy one or two houses when you sell his weapons.

（回）作为一个德国人，我是特别期待德国的武器制造商能出现在美国。
在我工作的酒店里，我们碰到过一个来自德克萨斯州的常客，他是一个枪支大收藏家，而且痴迷德国轻武器。我由此了解到，我们德国人制造的武器是最好的，而意大利人的雕工是最好的。他给我看了他枪械室的照片，如果你把他的武器卖了，你也许都能买下一两栋房子。

Responsible-Map6811
I can’t remember which country does this but is there prisons are like rehab centers which that’s what we need here. There was so many people that go to jail just because they’ve been using drugs sticking them in jail isn’t going to do anything. They are going to get out and do the exact same fucking thing over again

我不记得是哪个国家有这种做法，但那里的监狱就像是康复治疗中心，这正是我们这里需要的东西。有太多的人仅仅因为吸毒而入狱，把他们关进监狱并不能起到任何作用。他们出狱后又会重蹈覆辙。

90 percent of American towns especially the further you go west are built around cars. Many cities in the North East of America and the cities in Europe were built for people/horses.

90%的美国城镇（越往西部走就越是如此）都是为了车打造出来的。而美国东北部以及欧洲的很多城市是为人/马打造出来的。

Walkable neighborhoods have more public transportation, more nightlife, less obesity, and are just more pleasant places to live in a lot of cases.

适宜步行的街区拥有更多公共交通工具，更多夜生活，肥胖症患者也更少，在很多情况下也是更宜居的所在。

Get rid of tipping. Just have employers charge and pay more.

废除给小费的风俗。直接把这部分钱记在雇主账上，让他们多发点工资。

Tipping has to be BANNED though. Otherwise, we'll be paying more for service and still expected to tip.

（回）一定要废除小费制度。不然的话，我们为了得到更好的服务就会花更多的钱，却还是会指望我们给小费。

Duck on the menu in lots of restaurants.

（明尼苏达）很多餐馆菜单中的鸭子菜。

My father runs a Chinese restaurant. We serve duck on the menu. Only people that eat duck are East Asians and American country guys. No in between.
I was shocked when I saw these two dudes drive in a jacked pickup, walked in with real tree camo on their rubber boots and cowboy boots sit down and order a Chinese style roast duck.

（回，北卡）我爸经营着一家中餐馆。我们是会在菜单上提供鸭子菜的。而会吃鸭子的群体只有东亚人和美国乡下人。别无其他。
我之前见证过的某个场景把我给震撼到了，当时有两个男的开了辆皮卡来，还用千斤顶顶起了，身着树木迷彩服，脚踏橡胶靴和牛仔靴，这俩货进店坐下，点了一只中国风格的烤鸭。

Peking duck is amazing when done right. German-Americans (like me) are also definitely duck and goose eaters. Many German restaurants serve duck, but when I was in Germany, Russia, the Czech Republic, and France etc. duck was on the menu at the majority of nice restaurants’ menus.

（回）北京烤鸭要是烹制得当，会很惊艳的。像我这种德裔美国人，鸭肉和鹅肉也是绝对能吃的。很多德国餐馆也会提供鸭子菜，我之前在德国、俄罗斯、捷克和法国等国的时候，大部分高档餐馆的菜单上都是有鸭子的。

A lot of Americans eat duck, but they tend to hunt and prepare it themselves instead of ordering it from a restaurant.

（回）吃鸭子的美国人也是很多的，但他们往往是在打猎中打下鸭子后自己料理的，是不会去馆子里点的。
