When little Myla Lawrie was brought home from hospital four months ago, a veritable sea of pink greeted her, with clouds of balloons filling the sitting room, along with cards, bunting and ribbons in every shade of girliness.
四个月前,小麦拉·劳里(Myla Lawrie)从医院被抱回家时,迎接她的是一片粉红色的“海洋”——起居室内飘满粉红色的气球,点缀着粉粉的卡片、幔幕和缎带,到处洋溢着粉嫩女孩的气息。
For this was a very special event in the Lawrie family. When Myla was born in October, she was the first girl to be born in her family since 1809.
对劳里家族而言,这是一件特别的大事件。小麦拉出生在十月,她是1809年以来劳里家族降生的第一个女孩。
The last time a midwife announced "It's a girl", the Napoleonic war was still being fought, the motorcar was yet to be invented, and "mad" King George III was on the English throne.
上一次产婆宣布“生了个女孩”的时候,还是拿破仑战争时期,那时候人们还没发明汽车,“疯癫的”君主乔治三世还在位统治英国。
No wonder her proud parents — Hannah, a 26-year-old midwife, and Mark, a 33-year-old professional golfer turned coach, from Maidstone in Kent — wanted to celebrate.
有了这些理由,小麦拉的双亲如此引以为傲,也就不足为奇了。她的母亲是24岁的助产士汉娜,父亲名叫马克,是一名职业高尔夫球员,两人都来自英国肯特州的梅德斯通。如今,他们想为这个新生命的到来庆祝一番。
