最近，澳大利亚士兵又被外媒曝光了，不过这次惨的是他们……
当地时间7日，俄罗斯卫星网（Sputnik）援引英国《每日电讯报》和《每日邮报》，曝光了澳大利亚军营的一项“奇葩规定”。

据报道，位于南澳大利亚爱丁堡的初级部队士兵，被要求在其他士兵如厕时轮流站岗、检查马桶，并记录如厕的详细情况。
Junior troops in Edinburgh, South Australia were forced to track and record details of the toilet habits of their compatriots, according to The Daily Telegraph.
报道称，这些数据疑被添加到澳大利亚国防部一本机密的22页“排便/排尿”操作日志中。
The data was reportedly supposed to be added to a classified 22-page Department of Defence 'Poo/Wee' Operator's Log.

对于这些要求，澳大利亚士兵愤怒地表示抗议，称这是“公然企图剥夺男女尊严并贬低他们”。
In turn, infuriated soldiers protested, calling the duty a “blatant attempt to strip the men and women of their dignity and belittle them”, according to reports.
上有政策，下有对策。为了反对这项“奇葩规定”，澳军士兵开始在日志上造假，他们写下类似的评论：“士兵小便，看起来很紧张，躲避视线”，“排尿顺畅，尿出便盆了”……
As a sign of protest, troops, charged with "spying", started to log fake entries, with such comments as "Trooper urinated. Seemed nervous, hid from view" or "Good stream, missed the bowl", Daily Mail claims.
据悉，事情发生后，一位指挥官要求销毁日志（destruction of the log book）。
澳大利亚国防军发言人表示，他们并不知晓此项规定，并将对此事进行调查。
The Australian Defence Force said that they were unaware of such an order and will be investigating the matter.
近年来，澳大利亚士兵自杀事件频发。
据澳大利亚广播公司（ABC）6日报道，自美国入侵阿富汗近20年来，至少有500名澳军士兵自杀，是澳军在阿富汗阵亡人数（41人）的10倍以上。
There have been at least 500 veteran suicides in Australia since the start of the Afghanistan war — a number that dwarfs the number of lives lost on the battlefield, at 41.
仅在今年10月和11月，澳大利亚士兵中就有至少9人自杀。
There were at least nine suicides in the veteran community in October and November, as well as two in August.
报道称，老兵自杀应该被视作“澳大利亚最迫切的问题之一”。
…veteran suicides should be treated as "one of Australia's most pressing problems".
据悉，今年暴发的新冠肺炎疫情，以及澳军在阿富汗所犯战争罪行调查的曝光，都是导致澳军士兵自杀的“重要挑战”（significant challenges）。
此前，澳大利亚国防部在11月披露的一份报告承认了澳驻阿富汗部队杀害当地平民，引发国际舆论热议。
一位退役士兵曾在今年3月接受ABC采访，亲口承认澳驻阿部队不为人知的种种罪行。他表示，对驻阿澳军所犯下的罪行感到无比震惊和失望。
他们需要回过头来看看，在那里（阿富汗）是在杀人、侵略，而不是在做什么值得尊敬的事情。
"They're going to look back and see that we were the guys in there murdering people, and invading, and not there to do something that is honourable," he said.
