A：Darling, I have news for you. Bobby and his wife, Evelyn, are going to have a baby soon.

親愛的，我有個(gè)小消息告訴你。波比和他的妻子伊芙琳就要生孩子了。

B：Really? I thought his wife couldn’t have a baby.

真的嗎?我原以為他的妻子不能生小孩。

A：Actually they’re expecting the baby to come on my birthday.

他們的小孩預(yù)計(jì)竟然會(huì)在我生日的那天出生。

B：Oh, what a coincidence! I bet Bobby must be very happy about it. He likes children and always wants a child of his own.

噢，這么巧!我猜波比肯定很高興。他喜歡小孩，而且一直都想有個(gè)自己的小孩。

A：In fact, they’re both very excited about the coming baby. Evelyn imagines what their baby would be look like, since one parent is American and the other one is Chinese.

實(shí)際上，對于即將要出生的小孩，他們兩個(gè)都很興奮。既然一個(gè)父母是美國人，另一個(gè)又是中國人，伊芙琳想象著他們的小孩將會(huì)是個(gè)什么樣子。

B：Oh, right. Now I know why they would want to see our boy. It’s hard to imagine the wonder! Are they expecting a boy or a girl?

噢，是啊?，F(xiàn)在我知道他們?yōu)槭裁磿?huì)想看到我們的小孩了。這種奇跡是很難想象的!他們的小孩會(huì)是個(gè)男孩還是女孩?

A：It’s still a mystery. Because Evelyn is only three-month pregnant. But she begins to take her maternity leave now.

還是個(gè)謎呢。因?yàn)橐淋搅者€只懷孕三個(gè)月呢。但是她現(xiàn)在就開始休產(chǎn)假了。

B：Oh! You mean she doesn’t have to work now? It’s hard for young parents not to overreact, isn’t it?

哦!你是說她現(xiàn)在不用上班了嗎?很少有年青父母不過度反應(yīng)，對不對?
