Alice: Oh no, I don’t mean a room for resting. I mean ... you know, a washroom or bathroom. He Wei: Hmm ... so you mean ... the toilets? Alice: Yes! Sorry, maybe the word “restroom” is not commonly used in China. He Wei: Right, we normally say “toilets” or “washrooms”. They’re just over there. Alice: OK. I’ll be quick! I wonder when the park closes today. He Wei: Nine-thirty, so you don’t need to rush! 何伟:这是快乐时光公园，我市最大的游乐园! 艾丽斯:要尝试这些乘玩项目，我好兴奋呀! 何伟:我们应该从哪里开始呢?这里有太空世界、水上世界、动物世界…… 艾丽斯:哦，你能先告诉我洗手间在哪吗? 何伟:请再说一遍好吗?休息室? 你已经想休息了吗?但是我们甚至还没有开始呢! 艾丽斯:哦，不，我不是指休息的房间。
