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

亲爱的，我有个小消息告诉你。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.

真的吗?我原以为他的妻子不能生小孩。

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

他们的小孩预计竟然会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，这么巧!我猜波比肯定很高兴。他喜欢小孩，而且一直都想有个自己的小孩。

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.

实际上，对于即将要出生的小孩，他们两个都很兴奋。既然一个父母是美国人，另一个又是中国人，伊芙琳想象着他们的小孩将会是个什么样子。

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。现在我知道他们为什么会想看到我们的小孩了。这种奇迹是很难想象的!他们的小孩会是个男孩还是女孩?

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

还是个谜呢。因为伊芙琳还只怀孕三个月呢。但是她现在就开始休产假了。

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

哦!你是说她现在不用上班了吗?很少有年青父母不过度反应，对不对?
