Voice 2: And that is why people met to talk about toilets at the World Toilet Summit. They want to keep people healthy by providing toilets. The people at the Summit have a goal. They share this goal with World Health Organization. They hope that by the year 2015, the number of people without toilets will be reduced by half.

声音2:这就是人们在世界厕所峰会上讨论厕所的原因。他们想通过提供厕所来保持人们的健康。峰会与会者有一个目标。他们与世界卫生组织有着共同的目标。他们希望到2015年,没有厕所的人数能减少一半。
Voice 1: But, there are problems with providing toilets for many people. First, it can cost a lot of money to start. That is why so many people in the world still do not have a toilet. So, at the Summit, people discussed ways to make toilets that cost less. Many toilet companies also attended the Summit. They brought along their ideas for lower priced toilets. One idea came from an Indian company called Sulabh International. This company created several different models of traditional Indian squat toilets. People do not sit on these toilets. These toilets are on the ground. People lower themselves over them. These toilets cost less and use very little water.
声音1:但是,为许多人提供厕所存在问题。首先,这可能要耗费大量资金。这就是世界上还有那么多人没有厕所的原因。因此,人们在峰会上讨论了修建成本更低廉的厕所的方法。多家厕所公司也参加了这一峰会。他们提出了建造低价厕所的想法。其中一个想法来自名为苏拉布国际的印度公司。这家公司创造了多种不同的印度传统蹲式厕所模型。人们不坐在马桶上。厕所在地上。人们蹲下来上厕所。这些厕所成本低廉,而且用水很少。
