<< review queue entry 42697 - submitted by 'ycandau' >> 理容院 in Tw used to be simply, well,... brothels but it seems the word has got a new life. 大家應該都知道，理容院就等於按摩院。只不過理容院還多出了一些服務，例如：腳底按摩、挖耳朵、擦皮鞋、修理指甲、臉部美容等等，在早期還有洗頭髮這種服務，現在可能還有，但我不知道有哪些店還有這種服務。 see also *one* GI where it's clearly an old-fashioned barber shop. "barbershop" is also how it is translated at chinese-course.com Editor: Spelling ~ parlour 1) 這幾年常在何延泰身邊的學生許理智，則是偶然在理容院裡聽老闆娘提起，說隔壁住了位有趣的老書法家，... Hsu Li-chih, who has been a student of Ho's for several years now, tells this tale: When he once was at the hair stylist's, he heard the woman who owns the shop chatting about a certain curious old calligrapher who lived next door, 2) 葉怡君也曾把自己買到的各種懷舊房舍、鐵道、街景等，自行組合成一個虛擬小鎮，裡面不但有等公車的人、兜風的情侶等，還有電影院、理容院、郵局、文具行等各種房舍，是個麻雀雖小、五臟俱全的聚落。 Yeh herself has set up a simulated township from a range of nostalgic street-scene, building, and railway snack toy sets, with people waiting to catch buses, lovers taking rides, and even a movie theater, beauty parlor, post office, stationery store, and other such facilities. Despite its size, this small town really does have everything. 3) 張茂隆回憶，早年沒有專業按摩店，想按摩的人，只能在晚間坐在家中，聽到街上傳來悠悠的6音符盲人按摩笛聲後，才有機會請按摩師進入家中服務。不想枯等的人，就只能前往飯店、旅社，委請櫃台外叫按摩服務，或是到理容院、三溫暖店，接受明眼人的油壓、指壓服務，但因這類場所常暗藏春色而被污名化。直到1970年代以後，國民所得漸增，按摩才逐漸成為忙碌現代人的必要享受，視障業者也才在政府補助下開始設店營業。 Chang remembers when there were no massage studios, and someone who wanted a massage would have to sit at home in the evening and listen for the six notes on a flute that meant a blind masseur was passing by. Customers would then go out and invite the masseur into their homes to work. Those who couldn't wait would go to hotels and ask for massage service at the counter. Otherwise they would go to barber-shop massage parlors or hot-spring spas to get an oil massage or acupressure massage from the sighted. But these establishments became regarded as seedy places of ill repute. It wasn't until the 1970s, as national income began to rise, that massage started gradually to become regarded as a necessary enjoyment amid people's busy modern lives, and the visually impaired, with subsidies from the government, began to go into the business. |
