本文主要报道了北京天坛公园因为安装了面部识别扫描仪而使得厕纸用量减少的事情。

In a park in Beijing, the governor has tried saving toilet paper to stop people from stealing(偷窃) it. Park officials have installed(安装) six facial recognition scanners at the city's Temple of Heaven Park. The machines will scan someone's face before providing him or her with 60 cm of toilet paper. The same person will then have to wait for nine minutes if they want extra paper. A park spokesman says there is a problem that visitors to the toilets take too much toilet paper. He says some people come and fill their bags with it. The park has put up posters and broadcast messages over speakers asking visitors to use less toilet paper.

在北京的一个公园，管理部门尝试着节约厕所用纸，阻止人们盗取厕纸。公园管理人员在天坛公园安装了6个面部识别扫描仪。这些机器将扫描识别人脸后再为其提供60厘米长的厕纸。同一个人如果还想要纸的话则需要等待9分钟。公园方面发言人说一直存在游客在厕所里面多用厕纸的问题。他说有人将纸取下放进了自己的口袋里。公园已张贴海报并通过广播向游客宣传提倡节约用纸。

The new facial recognition scanners have brought a surprise. They have become a tourist attraction. Visitors are now coming to look at and try out the machines. Videos of people pulling strips of toilet paper from the machines have spread quickly on social media sites. Workers are available to help people with problems using the machines or for people who urgently need more toilet paper. The scanners seem to be popular. A user on the Chinese social media site Weibo said, "This is a really good idea. I think that it should be rolled out in toilets all over the county." The effort appears to be successful so far. The daily amount of toilet paper used in the park's toilets has gone down by 20 percent.

新的面部识别扫描仪给我们带来了惊喜。这些机器甚至已经成为一个旅游景点。游客们纷纷来到这里观赏试用这些机器。一段游客扫脸取纸的视频在社交网站上迅速传播开来。工作人员可以帮助不能使用机器的人取出厕纸，也可以帮助那些急需二次取纸的人马上再次取纸。面部识别扫描仪似乎很受欢迎。一个微博用户说：“这是一个非常不错的主意。我认为应该在全国范围内推广。目前为止，这一尝试似乎是成功的。公园的日厕纸用量已经下降了20%。
