瞬间秒杀听力 第504期:死而复生

 

A 34-year-old married man

who died recently had no children.

When he died, his wife was not pregnant¹, either.

But now that he's dead,

he has a chance of becoming a father.

How's that possible?

After a man dies,

his sperm² remains³ alive for some time.

In this case, the woman asked doctors

to remove the sperm from her husband's body

and store it in a sperm bank.

Now, she can have the baby

that she has wanted for a long time.

She says it's as if her husband

would come back to life again

when the child is born.

If that is so,

wouldn't that make her husband her son?

一位34岁的已婚男子最近死了，他没有子女。

他死的时候，太太也没有怀孕。

但如今他虽然死了，他却有机会做爸爸。

那怎么可能呢?

当一个男人死了以后，

他的精子仍可存活一段时间。

在这种情形下，

那位妇人要求医生从她丈夫体内取出精子

并将精子存在精子银行。

现在，她可以怀有她长久以来盼望的小孩。

她说当孩子出生时，就好像她先生又活过来一样。

如果真是那样的话，那她先生不就变成她儿子了吗?
