In British English, the word 'toilet' can refer to the fixture itself or the room where it is installed, for which you will also hear the more colloquial words 'loo', 'lav' or 'john'. The slang word 'dunny' is popular in Australia while Americans tend to prefer the more polite terms 'bathroom' or 'restroom'. In the Philippines, the term of choice is the pleasant-sounding 'comfort room', or 'CR' for short.
在英式英語中，單詞 toilet 指抽水馬桶，也可以指衛生間。俚語衛生間的表達有loo, lav 或 john. 在澳大利亞，俚語單詞 dunny 也是廁所的意思。美國人喜歡用含蓄一點的說法，比如 bathroom 洗澡間或 restroom 休息室。在菲律賓，衛生間的英語表達是 comfort room 舒適的房間, 簡稱 CR, 聽著比較順耳。
