王颖故事：Being a new Mom

Jessica: 最近你家小宝贝怎样？

Jessica: Hey! How's your baby girl doing these days?

橙子妈：会说简单的词了，真好听！

橙子妈：She’s started picking up some words now, how cute they are!

Jessica:她说什么了？

Jessica: What did she say?

橙子妈：我教她数数，可她只能数到2，于是就不断的重复1，2，1，2…

橙子妈：I taught her to count from one to ten, but she can just count to two, so she repeated one two one two over and over again.

Jessica:真是太有趣了！

Jessica: Ah! She's so cute!

橙子妈：是的，时间真快啊！感觉自己娃都还没当够呢，就当妈了。

橙子妈：Yeah, How time flies ! You know,I’m still feeling like a child, but I have my own kid now.

Jessica:当妈什么感觉？

Jessica: How’s it feel to be a new mother?

橙子妈：我发现娃长得还不像我，所以还没完全进入角色呢！

橙子妈：The baby doesn't look like me, so I haven’t completely¹ gotten into the role!

Jessica: 看来你家娃确实是她爸的翻版啊~

Jessica: You mean your baby looks more like her dad now?

橙子妈：是啊，想起一年前生娃的情景还并不遥远，彷佛就在昨天呢。

橙子妈：Yeah, I think so. And to me the scene of giving birth is still clear in my mind.

Jessica: 我能问问，你是顺产还是剖腹产？

Jessica: Would you mind if I 'm asked, did you give birth naturally or have a c-section?

橙子妈：顺产的，没打麻药，我自己都佩服自己呢！

橙子妈：Natural labor² without anesthesia, I’m proud of myself!

Jessica:哇，你太牛了！

Jessica: Wow, you’re awesome³!

橙子妈：那天晚上，我还在睡梦中呢，忽然觉得不对劲，我忙摇醒老公说：“老公，我好像破水了”。

橙子妈：I still remembered the night when I was in my dream, and I started feeling something wrong, and I shook my husband and said ，“Honey, my water broke! ”

Jessica: 你老公一定很紧张吧？

Jessica: Your husband must have freaked out？

橙子妈：是的，我们迅速打车去了医院。一到医院，医生说：“你不知道破水后要叫救护车送过来吗？” 我说：“不知道啊？产检时医生从来没说过呢！”

橙子妈：Yes, he did. And then we rushed to the hospital by taxi. Once we arrived, the doctor said，“ Don’t you know you should have called an ambulance after the water broke?” And I answered，“I didn’t know that, the doctors never told me during the antenatal examination⁴. ”

Jessica: 生孩子疼吗？

Jessica: Did it hurt when giving birth?

橙子妈：生孩子哪有不疼的？医生对其他准妈妈们说：你们不要吵了，会影响宝宝的，听到这里，我暗自下定决心，一会无论多痛都不哭，要给宝宝一个勇敢、乐观的态度。

橙子妈：Needless⁵ to say! The doctor said to other pregnant⁶ mothers , “Stop crying, you are disturbing the babies.” On hearing this, I promised myself that I will be quiet no matter how hard it is to bring an attitude of bravery and optimism⁷ to my baby.

Jessica:生产过程顺利吗？

Jessica: Did you have a smooth delivery⁸ ？

橙子妈：比较快的，四十多分钟，宝宝挺配合地要出来，老公也进产房支持我，所以很快生好了。医生抱着宝宝问我“猜猜是男孩还是女孩？”，我说“女孩”!

橙子妈：Pretty fast! It only took a little over than 40 minutes.The baby came out co-operatively, because my husband stayed by my side, I gave birth smoothly⁹. And then the doctor held the baby and asked me “Guess a boy or girl?”“It’s a girl” I answered.

Jessica:宝宝太可爱了，什么时候再要一个啊？

Jessica: The baby is so cute, when will you have another one?

橙子妈：这个问题，太遥远了，我还没准备好呢！我还享受着做母亲的乐趣呢！此时我只想说：感谢我的宝宝，谢谢你让我做你的妈妈！感恩！

橙子妈: Someday probably, but I am not ready for that now. I am still enjoying being a mom! I just wanna say:Thank you my baby girl, thank you for having me be your mother. I really appreciate it.
