公众场所这些别出心裁的小设计，让生活更加美好！

1. 是不是很讨厌看到电线杆或灯柱上的“狗皮膏药”？ 

政府想出了这样一个办法：给灯柱“穿衣服” 

　　A special cover on a lamp post to prevent people placing stickers or adverts on it.

2. 大家有没有在马路上走着走着就闻到一股不可描述的味道？这到底是从哪个犄角旮旯里飘过来的呢？

来看政府的新发明：

This invention is sometimes called the "Anti pee-pee." It’s made from a triangular piece of metal, angled in such a way that anybody who tries to relieve himself againt will end up with pee on his shoes.

这项发明有时被叫做“反小便”设计。它由一块三角铁制成，这样形成的角度就能让在这里小便的人最终尿到自己的鞋上。

3. 地铁站里等地铁，可它迟迟不来，很焦虑怎么办？

看看伦敦政府的做法：

If you travel on the London underground, you may get to listen to classical music as you’re waiting for your train. It’s believed that classical music is an effective way to reduce crime and antisocial behavior on the network. It also helps people to calm and not to get stressed by crowded trains and delays.

如果你搭乘伦敦地铁，等车时你可能会听到古典音乐。据说古典音乐能够有效降低网络犯罪和反社会行为，同样，在拥挤的车厢内以及地铁晚点时播放古典音乐还能帮助人们平静下来，不那么紧张。

4. 我们都知道吸烟有害健康，可是戒烟真不容易

为了帮助民众戒烟，政府也是煞费苦心：

A digital screen equipped with smoke detectors is placed in a busy street of Stockholm to encourage smokers to kick their smelly habit. The man in the picture starts coughing heavily when someone with a lit cigarette passes by.

斯德哥尔摩繁忙的一条街道上放置着内置有烟雾探测仪的数码显示屏，以此来鼓励吸烟者戒烟。当行人叼着烟经过时，屏幕里的男人开始剧烈咳嗽起来。(这个发明小编给满分)

5. 貌似现代人压力越来越大，自杀率也在攀升，所以人们常常会说：

在日本，越轨自杀很普遍，为了让大家珍爱生命，日本政府想出了一个办法：

In Japan, authorities installed bright blue lights in railway stations, where there is a high occurrence of suicide from people jumping onto the tracks.  During the 4 years of installing the blue lights, there has been 84 % decrease in suicide. So, it does seem to work!

在火车站装上明亮的蓝灯，于是乎四年内自杀率降低了84%(据称,蓝色二极管发出的蓝色灯光可以使人保持镇定,打消自杀念头。)
