现在很多公共场所的厕所都有坐便器,有些爱干净的人就会用厕纸把马桶座圈层层包裹起来,然后才敢放心使用,铺着厚厚厕纸的马桶座裹得好像木乃伊一样,因此被称为“马桶木乃伊”——toilet mummy。
When someone is so concerned about toilet seat germs, they cover the seat with half a roll of toilet paper, leaving it to appear like it has been mummified. This is called “toilet mummy”.
有的人特别担心马桶座圈的细菌,就用一大堆厕纸厚厚地铺在座圈上,把马桶座圈裹得像个木乃伊。这就叫“马桶木乃伊”。
Example:
I was going to use that toilet, but somebody left it looking like a toilet mummy.
我本来想用那个马桶,但有人把它裹成了“马桶木乃伊”。
