背景介绍：
香港《东方新地》杂志称，45岁的刘嘉玲求子心切，婚后不断尝试各种“造人”秘方，但是均没有成功。近日，刘嘉玲终于听取吴君如等好友意见，考虑赴美聘用代母产子，梁朝伟也有望升级做爸爸。据知，刘嘉玲、梁朝伟停工三个月，今年5月初曾秘密前往美国加州搜集相关资料以及验身，此后便积极进行“高科技造人”大计。刘嘉玲好姐妹吴君如也力撑聘用代孕妈妈，坦言有兴趣尝试。

英文报道：
According to Hong Kong tabloid, Oriental Sunday Magazine, Carina Lau and Tony Leung found a surrogate mother to carry their baby. Carina and Tony took the advice of their good friend, Sandra Ng, and found a surrogate mother agency in the United States in May to fulfill their wish to become parents. Allegedly, after waiting for another few months, the baby will be arriving!

据香港报纸《东方新地》报道，刘嘉玲和梁朝伟找到一个代孕妈妈来为他们产子。刘嘉玲和梁朝伟听取了了他们的好友吴君如的建议，5月份在美国找到一个代孕妈妈机构来实现他们为人父母的愿望。据传，再过数月，他们孩子就出世了。

It was understood that since Carina Lau and Tony Leung got married, they have been unable to conceive a baby together. Due to their busy work schedules and advancing age, Carina has been unable to become pregnant. Seeking a surrogate mother in the United States may have cost the couple a hefty fee!

据了解，自从刘嘉玲和梁朝伟结婚后，他们一直没有“造人”成功。因为两人工作繁忙再加上年龄的问题，刘嘉玲未能如愿怀孕。在美国找代一个孕妈妈也许花费巨大。

讲解：
报道中的surrogate mother就是“代孕妈妈”的意思，“surrogate”是表示“代理人；代用品； 代孕者”的含义。接下来，我们学习一下与怀孕有关的英语：Caesarean表示“剖腹产”；natural childbirth或者natural labour表示“顺产”；conceive a baby“怀上孩子”； She is pregnant. (她怀孕了)；She is "expecting". （她在“待产”中。）；She is about to have a "blessed event". （她不久会有“喜事”。）
