Zuly:Hello.

准丽： 哈罗。

Ricardo: Hi, Zuly. How are you?

里卡多： 嗨，准丽。你好吗？

Zuly: Oh, Ricardo, it's you. I'm doing okay. How are you?

准丽： 啊，里卡多，是你啊。我很好。你好吗？

Ricardo: I wanted to call and congratulate you on the birth of your new baby.

里卡多： 我打电话是想祝贺你宝宝的诞生。

Zuly: Thanks a lot. Carla was born three weeks ago, and she was 8 pounds, 3 ounces.

准丽： 非常感谢。卡拉刚出生三周，体重有8磅3盎司。

Ricardo: That's great! How does it feel to be a first-time parent?

里卡多： 太棒了！第一次当父母感觉如何？

Zuly: It's really overwhelming taking care of a newborn. I'm learning everything from scratch, everything from how to breastfeed and bottle-feed, to burping her, to putting her to bed, to using a car seat and a stroller.

准丽： 照顾新生儿真让人心力交瘁。什么都要从头学起，从怎么母乳喂养、怎么奶粉喂养，到怎么让她打嗝，怎么哄她睡觉，怎么使用汽车座椅和推车。

Ricardo: You sound overwhelmed. I remember when Adam, our first child, was born. There were the feedings in the middle of the night, and all of those diapers!

里卡多： 你的声音很疲惫。我还记得当初我的第一个孩子亚当出生时的情形。半夜得起来喂他奶，还要给他换尿布。

Zuly: Exactly. I'm exhausted all the time. In fact, I find myself dozing off at all hours of the day.

准丽： 没错。我总是精疲力尽。实际上，我发现自己一整天都在打瞌睡。

Ricardo: I really sympathize with you, but these days will pass quickly, and then you'll have such great memories. Have you had much sleep?

里卡多： 我真同情你，但这样的日子很快就会过去，那时留下的全是美好的回忆。你的睡眠充足吗？

Zuly: Zzzzzzzz!

准丽： 呼呼...

Ricardo: Zuly? Zuly?

里卡多： 准丽？准丽？
