老外在中国,对中国的人和事有什么看法?《中国日报》Second Thought栏目系列文章带你走近老外的真实内心世界。 I have read the news with bemused interest as Chinese doctors advise prospective mothers about the risks of having a second child. I’m a skeptic. 资讯报道中,屡见中国医生提醒广大妇女,二孩有风险,生育需谨慎。本人读得兴致勃勃,却又一头雾水,对其言论并不敢苟同。 But don’t listen to me. I am not a doctor. I claim no medical knowledge whatsoever. If you’re a woman contemplating having a second child, you should stop reading now. I am not qualified to render a professional opinion about anything — least of all prenatal care. 不过,鄙人一家之言,不足为训。鄙人并非医生,对医学一窍不通。读者若恰巧是正在考虑要二孩的妇女同志,当立即停止阅读本文。鄙人才疏学浅,无权对任何事物发表专业评论,产前保健更是不敢妄议。 Yet I have also been accused of knowing too much about reproduction. I have eight children — yes, three sons and five daughters. Shocking but true. I will say that a big family is wonderful, especially now that the kids are grown. 不过,亦有人指称鄙人对生产之事了如指掌。本人膝下三男五女。难以置信,不过确实属实。依鄙人之见,人丁兴旺是幸事,儿女渐长则更佳。 |
