 不同阶段的“宝宝”


Baby一般是对0到4岁孩子的统称,指代的范围比较广泛,其实在英语中有不同的词形容不同阶段的宝宝。
出生到两个月大的宝宝:
Newborn: 新生儿
两个月到一岁的宝宝:
Infant: 婴儿
一岁到四岁的宝宝,蹒跚学步的小孩:
Toddler: 幼儿
会走路,会说话,已经学会自己上厕所,准备上学的孩子:
Preschoolers: 学龄前儿童
怀孕的说法
怀孕时不能说,宝宝出生了之后才能说:
She has a baby. 她有了一个宝宝。
怀孕时可以这样说:
She has a baby on the way. 她怀了一个宝宝。
医生常说的,一个较为正式和专业的词是:
Pregnant: 怀孕的
She is pregnant. 她怀孕了。
但在口语中,一般用这个词:
Expecting: 期待,期望
We are expecting: 我们马上有宝宝了。
还有一个非常形象的俗语可以表示怀孕:
Bun in the oven: 烤箱里有一个面包在烤,比喻怀孕了。
She has a bun in the oven: 她怀孕了。
还能怎么称呼“宝宝”?
最通常的叫法是:
Kid/kids: 小孩/小孩们
口语中经常会这样问:
How many kids do you have?你有几个孩子?
另一个稍显正式的词是:
Child: [t?a?ld] 儿童
Children: [?t??ldr?n] 儿童们
要注意单复数形式各自的发音并不同。
当然,大家也可以直接说:
Son: 儿子
Daughter: 女儿
在口语中,也可以用boy和girl来代替:
Boy: 男孩
How old is your boy? 你的儿子几岁了?
Girl: 女孩
How old is your girl? 你的女儿几岁了?
“小朋友”怎么说
在英语中形容小朋友也会用到“小”这个词:
Little ones: 小朋友们
小姑娘们被称为:
Little princess: 小公主
小男孩们则被称为:
Little man: 小男子汉
另外,男孩们总是非常想长大,非常喜欢被人叫做:
Big guy: 大个儿,大家伙
可爱的称呼
对于比较小的孩子,大人们也会用一些非常甜蜜的称呼:
Sweetie: 亲爱的
Sweetie pie: 小甜甜
Sweetheart:小甜心
Sweet pea: 小甜豆
Cutie: 可爱的人
Cutie pie: 小可爱
Honey: 宝贝
Honey bunny: 小乖乖
如果是调皮的小朋友,尤其是男孩,也有一个比较可爱的叫法:
Munchkin: 淘气鬼,小家伙
Little munchkin: 淘气鬼,小家伙
