| A | 小燕姐！快进来。 |
| Xiǎoyàn jiě! kuài jìnlai. |
| Come in, Xiao Yan -- quick! |
|
|
| B | 小芬，气色真不错。快生了吧。 |
| Xiǎofēn, qìsè zhēn bùcuò. kuài shēng le ba. |
| Your complexion is good, Xiao Fen. You must be due very soon. |
|
|
| A | 是啊。没剩几天了。小家伙一个劲儿地踢我，看来他是等不及要出来了。你家宝宝怎么样？ |
| shì a. méi shèng jǐtiān le. xiǎojiāhuǒ yīgèjìnr de tī wǒ, kànlai tā shì děngbují yào chūlai le. nǐ jiā bǎobao zěnmeyàng? |
| Yeah! Just a few days left. The little guy is kicking me all the time. Looks like he can't wait to come out. How's your little baby? |
|
|
| B | 哎哟，特能吃，小脸蛋肥嘟嘟的。 |
| āiyōu, tè néng chī, xiǎo liǎndànr féidūdū de. |
| Oh, man. He can really eat! His little face is so pudgy. |
|
|
| A | 真幸福。你身材恢复得挺好的。你看我，肥死了。 |
| zhēn xìngfú. nǐ shēncái huīfù de tǐng hǎo de. nǐ kàn wǒ, féi sǐ le. |
| You must be really happy. Your figure has recovered really well. Look at me--fat as could be. |
|
|
| B | 别怕，当妈妈这点牺牲总要做的。等孩子生下来，你又要喂奶，又要带孩子，很辛苦的，很快就瘦下去了。 |
| bié pà, dāng māma zhèdiǎnr xīshēng zǒng yào zuò de. děng háizi shēng xiàlai, nǐ yòu yào wèinǎi, yòu yào dài háizi, hěn xīnkǔ de, hěn kuài jiù shòu xiàqu le. |
| Don't worry. You at least have to sacrifice this much if you want to be a mom. When the child is born, you'll need to nurse him and take care of him. It's a lot of hard work. You'll slim down in no time. |
|
|
| A | 但愿如此。你是顺产的还是剖腹产的？ |
| dànyuànrúcǐ. nǐ shì shùnchǎn de hái shì pōufù chǎn de? |
| I hope so. Did you do natural childbirth, or get a C-section? |
|
|
| B | 我自己生的。小芬，如果可以，一定要自己生。而且只有经历过生产过程中的痛，才会有做妈妈的感觉。 |
| wǒ zìjǐ shēng de. Xiǎofēn, rúguǒ kěyǐ, yīdìng yào zìjǐ shēng. érqiě zhǐyǒu jīnglì guo shēngchǎn guòchéng zhōng de tòng, cái huì yǒu zuò māma de gǎnjué. |
| Natural. If you can, you should definitely do it naturally, Xiao Fen. You can only get the feeling of being a momma if you've been through the pain of childbirth. |
|
|
| A | 那得多痛啊？受得了吗？ |
| nà děi duō tòng ā? shòudeliǎo ma? |
| How painful is it? Will I be able to take it? |
|
|
| B | 那么多人都受得了，你也没问题的。在那个节骨眼儿上，你一心就想把宝宝生出来，根本就顾及不到自己。 |
| nàme duō rén dōu shòudeliǎo, nǐ yě méiwèntí de. zài nàge jiēguyǎnr shàng, nǐ yī xīn jiù xiǎng bǎ bǎobao shēng chūlai, gēnběn jiù gùjí bùdào zìjǐ. |
| So many people can take it. You won't have any problem. At the critical moment, you just concentrate completely on getting the baby out. You just don't think about yourself at all! |
|
|
| A | 哇，当妈妈真神奇。哎哟，哎哟。 |
| wā, dāng māma zhēn shénqí. āiyōu, āiyōu. |
| Oh! Being a mom is really magical. Oggh, oggh... |
|
|
| B | 怎么了？孩子踢你了？ |
| zěnmele? háizi tī nǐ le? |
| What's the matter? Did the baby kick you? |
|
|
| A | 嗯，哎哟。一阵一阵疼得厉害。哎哟。 |
| ng4, āiyōu. yīzhènyīzhèn téng de lìhai. āiyōu. |
| Ennh...oggh...spasms of intense pain...oggh. |
|
|
| B | 大概是要生了。阿姨，阿姨，你家小芬要生了！快叫车！ |
| dàgài shì yào shēng le. āyí, āyí, nǐ jiā Xiǎofēn yào shēng le! kuài jiàochē! |
| You're probably going to have the baby. Auntie, Auntie, Xiao Fen is going to have her baby! Quick, call a cab! |
|
|
| C | 啊？小芬，你坚持住。妈去叫车！ |
| ǎ? Xiǎofēn, nǐ jiānchí zhù. mā qù jiàochē! |
| Ah? Hang on, Xiao Fen! Momma's going to call a cab! |
|
