Left-handed underpants on sale 左撇子男內褲上市
◎陳成良
A British store is launching a range of underpants for left-handed men,
an innovation it says will save them both time and embarrassment in front
of the porcelain.
英國一家商店將推出一系列專為男性左撇子設計的內褲，商店稱這一創新可以有效
解除他們小便時的費力和尷尬。
The new range, by UK-based Hom, will have a horizontal opening instead
of a vertical slit accessed from the right-hand side, breaking a tradition
that has lasted for 75 years.
由英國「Hom」公司推出的這種新式內褲，把傳統內褲靠右手處的垂直開口改為水
平開口，打破了延續75年的傳統。
"In our view, this is a vital step toward equality for left-handed men,"
said Rob Faucherand of Debenhams store.
「在我們看來，這是為男性左撇子爭取平等的重要一步，」Debenhams百貨公司的
羅伯．佛薛蘭德說。
Almost 10 percent of British men are believed to be left handed but
men’s Y-fronted underpants have traditionally had a right-handed opening
from the time they were invented in 1935.
據信近10％的英國男性是左撇子，但前面有（倒）Ｙ字形縫線的男性三角內褲自
1935年發明以來，傳統上只在右手邊設計開口。
"As a result," Debenhams said, "left-handed men have to reach much
further into their pants, performing a Z shaped maneuver through two
180 degree angles before achieving the result that right handed men
perform with ease."
「其結果是」，Debenhams百貨公司說，「男性左撇子必須把手更深入褲中，再
以Ｚ字形動作拐兩個180度的彎才能完成撒尿動作，而對於慣用右手的人來說，這
輕而易舉。」
The new pants mean that left handed men can finally go to the bathroom
as quickly and efficiently as their right-handed colleagues, the store
said.
新內褲的推出意味左撇子男人終於可以和右撇子一樣快速又有效率地上廁所，這家
百貨公司說。
