雙語閱讀：外媒男記者來中國體驗坐月子

以下是小編整理的英語文章：外媒男記者來中國體驗坐月子， 希望能對大家的英語學習有幫助。

'In the next 24 hours you will experience a typical Chinese new mother's life after delivery,' reads the letter I am handed as I arrive in anondescript seventh-floor flat in west Shanghai.

“在接下來的24小時裏，你將體驗到一位中國母親剛生產後的生活感受。”當我來到上海浦西，走進一幢毫無特色的七層居民樓時，我收到這樣一封信。

As I step into a small, sparsely furnished bedroom, Jane Jiang, my friendly host, introduces me to a lactation consultant in a medical-style dress named Zhiyi.

我走進一間狹小而裝潢簡陋的寢室，招待我的主人簡·蔣熱情的迎接我，並將我介紹給一位身着醫護制服的哺乳顧問，她的名字叫知易(音譯)。

Two plastic baby dolls bearing mildly demonic grins are lying on the bed next to a maternity bra and two pink, jelly-like half-spheres. I'd say they are probably C-cups.

在室內的牀上放着兩個塑料嬰兒玩偶，它們咧嘴一笑，笑容溫和又魔性。它們旁邊是一個孕婦乳罩，還有兩個粉紅色的半球膠狀物。我猜它們一定是C罩杯。

'Please put on your breasts, bra and pyjamas and lie down,' says Mrs Jiang, founder of Zhaimom, an online hub that offers consultancy services for new mothers.

“請戴上你的假乳和乳罩，穿上睡衣，在牀上躺下。”“宅媽媽”的創始人蔣小姐說道。“宅媽媽”是一個專門爲初爲人母的菜鳥媽媽提供諮詢服務的網上社區。

圖：煎熬——《每日郵報》記者傑米·富勒頓來到中國體驗“月子奶爸”的奇囧經歷，圖爲他躺在牀上，繫着一對硅膠假乳，給兩個嬰兒玩偶哺乳。

Childbirth

dbirth: Clamps are also attached to the men's stomachs (pictured) to 'help them understand' the excruciating pain of childbirth.

分娩：爲了“幫助男人理解”分娩的劇痛，蔣小姐會在男士的腹部(如圖)夾上許多夾子。Learning curve

course organisers made it very clear to Jamie (pictured) that it is not designed to be fun, but to help men experience some of the very serious conditions associated with childbirth, which men often misunderstand in China.

這項體驗課程的設計者明確的告訴傑米(如圖)，這趟體驗的目的不是消遣，而是幫助男人對女性生產的艱辛過程瞭解一二，在中國，許多男人往往對此知之甚少。

Nappy change

y change: The fake, plastic babies were smothered with a mixture of soy sauce and flour to simulate the mess made by real ones.

換尿布：蔣小姐還在塑料玩偶身上塗抹了用醬油和麪粉混合而成的特殊混合物，用以模擬嬰兒便便的真實情況 。

Bedridden

idden: Jamie (left) took the 24-hour course, but the full one requires men to stay indoors for ten whole days, in line with Chinese tradition.

長期臥牀：傑米(左圖)的體驗課程只持續了24小時，而整個課程則要求男性不外出長達整整十天，與中國傳統“坐月子”的時間相同。

Meal time

time: Jamie's reward for suffering the pain of the clamps was a bowl of brown Chinese-style porridge (pictured).

開飯啦：深受衣夾夾腹之痛的獎賞是，傑米得到了一碗中式的小米粥(如圖)。

Treat

t: Jamie's 24-hour experience was designed to reflect a few days of motherhood, so he was allowed solid food for lunch - which in this case was pigs' trotters in watery soup.

美食恩賜：傑米爲期24小時體驗課程的設計目的是管窺坐月子過程的一小部分，所以他被允許午餐吃固體食物——在此個案中，他得到了一碗豬蹄湯。

Last supper

supper: For dinner, at around 7.30pm, Jamie tucked into red bean soup before a sleepless night of screaming babies.

最後的晚餐：大約晚上7點半的時候，傑米開始吃晚餐，他大口吞下了一碗紅豆粥，準備着一夜無眠應付哭叫嬰兒的苦戰。
