英文词源

toilet (n.): 1530s, earliest in English in an obsolete sense "cover or bag for clothes," from Middle French toilette "a cloth; a bag for clothes," diminutive of toile "cloth, net" (see toil (n.2)). Toilet acquired an association with upper class dressing by 18c., through the specific sense "a fine cloth cover on the dressing table for the articles spread upon it;" thence "the articles, collectively, used in dressing" (mirror, bottles, brushes, combs, etc.). Subsequent sense evolution in English (mostly following French uses) is to "act or process of dressing," especially the dressing and powdering of the hair (1680s); then "a dressing room" (1819), especially one with a lavatory attached; then "lavatory or porcelain plumbing fixture" (1895), an American euphemistic use.

Toilet paper is attested from 1884 (the Middle English equivalent was arse-wisp). Toilet training is recorded from 1940.

考试真题

While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fussy – in theory at least – when it comes to paper quality.

Top of Britons' toilet paper wish list is softness ( ' , 57%) followed by strength ( ' , 45%) and thickness ( ' , 36%).

Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve product quality.

Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.

They reject using toilet paper with unnecessary features.

They prefer cheap toilet paper to recycled toilet paper.

They emphasize the strength of toilet paper the most.

They are particular about the quality of toilet paper.

These extra features are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.

Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume,said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett.

Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money, research has shown.

One in 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality.

More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment.

In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from £43 in 2014 to £41 in 2015.

In a challenge for manufacturers, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.

Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.

"Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume," said mintel analyst Jack Duckett.

Top of Britons' toilet paper wish list is softness 57% followed by strength 45% and thickness 36%.
