索契冬奥会的越野滑雪和冬季两项中心里这个小厕间的照片，刚被传上互联网就在社交网络中被人们疯传。

下个月索契冬奥会就要召开了，BBC驻莫斯科记者史蒂夫·罗森博格前来采访，在他上厕所的时候他拍下了这张照片。

他在推特上传了这张照片，旁边附加了一句话：“在冬奥会的冬季两项中心发现了双马桶洗手间。” 随后这张照片就开始在网络上疯传。
Although 'dual-toilets' are not common in Russia, social media users managed to post images of other side-by-side toilets from across the country, including ones in a courthouse and a cafe.
尽管“双马桶”在俄罗斯并不常见，但社交网站的网友们都开始纷纷上传全国其他地方的联排马桶，其中包括法院和咖啡厅的洗手间。

“为什么那个BBC的家伙要调戏我们呢？” 瓦西里·科诺夫在他的个人推特中写道，“俄罗斯足球体育馆的公共男厕都长这个样。”

同时，也有人把它和俄罗斯禁止“宣传同性恋”引发的争议联系起来，曾有国际运动者因此禁令抵制2月份的冬奥会。
Others claimed the second toilet was for a security guard in a nod to the tight security measures imposed in Sochi for the Winter Olympics.
还有人说第二个马桶是为一名安保人员准备的，借此对索契冬奥会的强制性安保措施表示敬重。
The Sochi organizing committee refused to comment on the picture. The games start on February 7.
