The toilet-A stinky history🚽马桶百年发展史

1. In ancient times, the Romans built public underground sewer systems, which not only carried waste, but also drinking water, so it paid to be upstream. The Romans used large, divider-free public restrooms - some with up to 50 toilets. Many people read prayers and protection spells to keep safe from demons, rats biting their bums, and open flames that could flare up with methane pockets. 2. Finally, in 1596, a man named John Harrington, who was actually an English poet, invented a flushing toilet for Queen Elizabeth the first. But it was so loud (that) it scared her from using it. It did, however, become popular to call this new invention after its creator, John. 3. By the 1850s, over 400,000 tons of sewage were flushed into the River Thames each day. Eventually, in the 1880s, a man came along who invented the ballcock and many other patents, which helped silence the scary flushing toilets, leading to its widespread adoption. His name? Thomas Crapper. 古时候，罗马人兴建了公共地下下水道系统，不但输送排泄物，也输送饮用水，所以位于上游就赚了。罗马人使用大型的无隔断公共厕所——有些还有多达50个坑位。许多人会进行祈祷，念保护咒语，以保护他们不受恶魔，老鼠咬屁股，和可能点燃沼气包的明火的影响。 最后，在1596年，一个名叫约翰·哈灵顿的人，他实际上是一位英国诗人，为伊丽莎白一世女王发明了一个冲水马桶。但马桶的声音实在大到女王不敢用。然而，民间开始流行以发明者的名字来称呼这个马桶——约翰。 到19世纪50年代，每天有超过40万吨的污水被排到泰晤士河。最终，在19世纪80年代，一个人出现了，他发明了浮球阀和许多其他专利，把可怕的冲水马桶改良成静音，使冲水马桶受到广泛采用。他的名字？汤马斯·克拉普。
