面部识别技术决定你可以用多少厕纸，中国厕所给每人提供28英寸长厕纸 [英国媒体]

This is not something you'd expect to go through a facial scan for but in China toilet-goers now need to pass a facial recognition system in order to receive tissue paper.

与你脑海中那些需要通过面部扫描的事不同，在中国，上厕所的人现在需要通过面部识别系统来得到卫生纸。

These camera-equipped dispensers are designed to combat the so-called 'toilet paper thieves' who would hide several metres of communal toilet paper in their bags and sneak them home.

这些配备了摄像头的设备是用来对付所谓的“卫生纸小偷”的，他们通常会把几米长的公共厕所的卫生纸藏在自己的袋子里，然后把它们偷偷带回家。

In Fuzhou each toilet-goer would be given a piece of toilet paper measuring 70cm long (28 inches) once they have their face recognised.

在福州，每个上厕所的人，只要他的脸能被系统识别，他就能得到一张70厘米长(28英寸)的卫生纸。

The machines were first spotted in Beijing but now around 30 of them have been installed in Fuzhou the capital of Fujian province in south-eastern China. 

这种机器最先在北京被投入使用。不过现在也有大约30个被安装在了南中国福建省的省会福州市。

To receive toilet paper the toilet users are required to remove their glasses or hats and look into the camera for three seconds. 

使用者们被要求摘掉眼镜或帽子，并且盯着里头的摄像机3秒才能拿到他们所需的厕纸。

Once their identity is logged into the system they wouldn't be able to get toilet paper again for another nine minutes.

一旦他们的身份被注册成功，就必须再等待九分钟才能拿到另一份厕纸。

If the toilet users wish to have more toilet paper they would need to talk to a bathroom attendant according to Kening Ecological Technology which builds and manages public bathrooms in Fuzhou.

根据建造并管理福州公厕的科宁（音）生态科技公司的说法，如果用户想要更多的厕纸，必须和公厕管理员沟通。

The reason for this is not something anyone outside of China and unfamiliar with Chinese culture would understand. In Chinese culture if something is 'free' there is no consideration to taking only what you need and leaving the rest for someone else it's the expectation that you may have as much as you want. It used to be the case that there was no toilet paper provided and you were expected to either wash yourself with water or provide your own. When the lavatories started providing paper in about the time of the Olympics so as to set a good impression for tourists Chinese locals didn't get that you couldn't just take the entire roll for their own use. So the rolls quickly disappeared. A solution had to be found. There are either machines where you can buy paper staff which sell paper or some other solution (such as this) to ensure enough paper for everyone.

这种新事物出现的原因不是那些不住中国或不熟悉中国文化的人能理解的。在中国文化里，假如某样东西是免费的，那么毋庸置疑，你就会拿走所有你需要的而不考虑留些给别人，要多少取多少。过去的情况是没有任何厕纸供应，所以你只能要不用水洗或是自己带。当（北京）奥运会期间，公厕为了给外国游客留下好印象而开始提供厕纸时，中国人当地人却不明白不能带走整筒卷纸留为己用。所以这种卷筒纸很快就消失了。而新的解决方法也亟待提出。必须有可以购买厕纸的机器或其他解决办法（比如文中的那种）来保证有足够的厕纸提供给所有人。

Sorry I'm not buying that. They must have understood that it was for everybody to use not just them and that they were in fact stealing it. No one is that daft. And anyway if that was the case then a simple notice pointing out their error would have sufficed rather than expensive machines being needed to force compliance.

抱歉，我对这种行为不买账。他们之所以这么做，肯定是意识到有人在偷这些供大家使用的手纸。但是，人们不会那么愚蠢和贪婪。无论如何，我觉得用更简单的通知来指出这些偷窃行为的错误，要比使用昂贵机械来强迫人们规范行为，要更有效吧。

Reminds me of the old days when I lived in Hong Kong in the early 70s. I sometimes used to go into the then rather swish Ocean Terminal shopping centre to cool off in the aircon. Very classy shops for rich tourists but when you went into the ladies there was an elderly woman sitting inside the door doling out just two coupons of loo roll to each person!

让我想起70年代初我住在香港时的旧时光。那时我时常会去那个比较时髦的海运码头购物中心，吹一下它里面凉快的空调。对于富有的游客来说，海运码头购物中心是一种很高端的购物商店。另外在那里，当有人走进女卫生间的时候，就会有一个坐在门口的老妇人，给他们每个人分发两张卫生纸

Am I to understand the facial recognition technology has cost less than a bit of bog roll? If not what's the point?

我是否可以理解为面部识别技术的成本低于那些卫生纸？否则的话，那又有什么意义呢？

With each piece of toilet paper being about 4 inches that's only 7 sheets.

每张卫生纸约4英寸，而且仅仅只有7张
