outhouse字面上看起來是「外面的房子」
實際上在美式英文裡是指屋外的廁所
一般在鄉下會看到這種蓋在房子外面的小屋
裡面有一個或多個馬桶
通常由於沒有接管線，所以是簡陋的那種馬桶而不是抽水馬桶
不過如果不是在美式英文裡，則也有可能是指屋外的儲藏室或倉庫
所以有時和你講話的是哪國人也有差別……
我們(還是)來造些句：

There is an outhouse in the yard, but it hasn’t been used for years.
(院子裡有一間(屋外)廁所，不過已經好多年沒有使用了。)
The toilet is broken. You’ll have to use the outhouse.
(馬桶壞了。你必須用屋外廁所。)
The idea of an outhouse is usually unpleasant.
(一想到屋外廁所，通常都是不好的畫面。)
