小红男性朋友上周去面试，进面试室之前去了趟洗手间，结果发现监控摄像头，他保持微笑地对着镜头说了声“你好”，出门左转就撤了，没想到这事儿被曝光了。

Xiaohong：Xiaohua, do you think is it legal for employers to install cameras in company bathrooms?

小红：小华，你认为雇主在公司卫生间安装摄像头合法吗?

Xiaohua：Wow, that blew my mind. I think it would be unlawful for companies to record behaviors in these locations.

小华：哇，太让我感到惊讶了。我认为公司在这些地点记录行为是违法的。

Xiaohong：My friend told me last week that before he went for a job interview, he used the men's restroom of the company. He found a security camera pointed at him. He smiled at the camera and felt embarrassed.

小红：我的朋友上周告诉我，在他去面试之前，他去了公司的男厕。他发现一个监控摄像头正对着他。他对着镜头微笑，感到很尴尬。

Xiaohua： Why did the company put a camera in the men's restroom?

小华：为什么公司要在男厕所装摄像头?

Xiaohong：Well, it's said that the camera can reduce smoking, and therefore, keep the employees safe and secure, as much as possible.

小红：嗯，据说摄像头可以减少吸烟，因此，尽可能地保证员工的安全。

Xiaohua：Come on! Bathrooms are nearly always considered an area where someone can expect privacy. Because of that, security cameras aren't allowed in bathrooms.

小华：得了吧。洗手间几乎总是被认为是人们可以期待隐私的地方。正因为如此，洗手间里不允许有摄像头。

Xiaohong：Yes, that's true. But I still don't know why people tend to smoke or spit while in bathrooms.
