北京地铁公厕的卫生问题一直是市民们的一大心病。2007年，市政府将加大改造、翻新力度，准备对公厕内的洁具、灯具和通风系统等设施进行升级。据悉，地铁公厕改造工程有望于今年年底完工。

请看中国日报相关报道：The public toilets in the subway stations across Beijing would be receiving face-lifts.

Beijing has decided to spend 6 million yuan ($750,000) on renovating the toilets in its subway stations this year. Sixty-four public toilets at stations across the city's two main subway lines will be upgraded to meet the same standards as the bathrooms at quality hotels.

报道中的“face-lift”指的是“翻新”，有时也可写做“face-lifting”。

“Face-lift”原意指“整容（除去面部皱纹的手术）”，后引申为（建筑物）的改建、装修和翻新，也可用做动词。

看下面两个例句：The school's face-lift astonished students.（学校外貌焕然一新，学生们大为惊讶。）

The automobile factory will face-lift most of its lines.（这家汽车厂多数产品的外型都要更新。）
