basic
You

Congratulations! You look absolutely radiant. I'm so happy for you and Tom. Here's a little something for the baby.

恭喜!你看起来容光焕发。我为你和 Tom 太高兴了。这是给宝宝的一点小东西。

Thank you so much! You're too sweet. Let me open it... oh, a baby blanket and these tiny socks! They're adorable! I'm going to cry.

太感谢了!你太好了。让我打开……哦,婴儿毯子和这些小袜子!太可爱了!我要哭了。

You

I couldn't resist those tiny socks! So, have you and Tom picked a name yet?

我看到那些小袜子就忍不住了!那你们想好名字了吗?

💡 Baby showers are typically held a few weeks before the due date. They can be for women only or co-ed, depending on the couple's preference.

We're down to two names but can't decide! We're thinking either Olivia or Emma. What do you think? Everyone has an opinion!

我们筛选到两个名字但定不下来!我们在考虑 Olivia 或 Emma。你觉得呢?每个人都有意见!

You

Both are beautiful names! I think Olivia has a nice ring to it. When is she due?

两个都是好名字!我觉得 Olivia 听起来很好听。她什么时候出生?

Six more weeks! We're almost ready — the nursery is all set up. Tom painted it last weekend. I'm just nervous and excited at the same time!

还有六周!我们基本准备好了——婴儿房已经布置好了。Tom 上周末刷的漆。我又紧张又兴奋!

Party Games & Socializing · 派对游戏和交流

intermediate
You

What games are we playing? I've never been to a baby shower before — this is all new to me.

我们玩什么游戏?我从没参加过婴儿派对——对我来说都是新的。

We're starting with "Guess the Baby Food" — you taste unlabeled jars and try to identify the flavors. Then we're doing a diaper raffle and a baby bingo during the gift opening.

我们先玩"猜婴儿食品"——品尝没标签的罐子,猜口味。然后有尿布抽奖和礼物拆开时的婴儿宾果。

You

That sounds fun! What's a diaper raffle? I brought a pack of diapers just in case.

听起来很好玩!尿布抽奖是什么?我以防万一带了一包尿布。

Perfect! Everyone who brought a pack of diapers gets a raffle ticket for a prize. It's a fun way to make sure the parents-to-be get the diapers they'll need. Trust me, they go through thousands!

完美!每个带了一包尿布的人都能得到一张抽奖券。这是一种有趣的方式确保准父母得到他们需要的尿布。相信我,他们会用掉好几千片!

You

Ha, I can imagine! This is such a nice tradition. In China we usually celebrate after the baby is born.

哈,我能想象!这个传统真好。在中国我们通常在宝宝出生后庆祝。

That's interesting! Some families here do a "sip and see" after the baby arrives too — it's a more casual meet-the-baby gathering. Different cultures have such lovely traditions around new babies.

有意思!这里有些家庭在宝宝出生后也会办"见面茶会"——是比较随意的见新生儿的聚会。不同文化围绕新生儿有那么多美好的传统。
