 There must be something in the water: Hospital in Arizona has 16 pregnant nurses 一定是这里的水有魔力：亚利桑那州的一个医院16名护士同时怀孕 There's a baby boom in an Arizona hospital and it's not coming from the maternity ward. 亚利桑那州的一家医院迎来了一个婴儿潮，可这并不是来自于产科病房。 boom美 [bum] 繁荣;激增;隆隆声 Sixteen nurses who work in the intensive care unit of the Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa are pregnant. 位于Mesa的Banner Desert 医疗中心的ICU病房，有16位护士怀孕了。 "I know a couple of us did fertility treatments," nurse Paige Packard said at a news conference Friday. "That's how I ended up finding out that everyone was pregnant. I was like, 'Oh, well, I didn't plan this. Did we have some kind of pact going I didn't know about?'" Packard said. 护士Paige Packard在周五的新闻会议上说：“我知道我们中有那么几个做了生殖治疗，但后来却发现我们大家都怀孕了。我当时想‘噢，可我，完全是计划外的。是不是我们之间有着什么秘密的约定吗？’” pact 美 [pækt]n.公约;条约，公约 There was no pact. The baby fever is just a happy coincidence. 没有什么约定。这次的婴儿热不过是一个欢乐的巧合。 The nurses said they all like to go to the cafeteria together to satisfy pregnancy cravings. One said she asked a cafeteria worker whether he could make the salad bar more "pregnancy-friendly," and suggested the cafeteria add pickles and olives. 护士们说她们都愿意一起去咖啡厅来满足一下怀孕时大开的胃口。一个护士说她问了咖啡厅的人是否能把沙拉吧做得对孕妇更适合一些，并建议那里增加酸黄瓜和橄榄。 "The next day there were pickles and olives," the nurse said. “第二天我们就有了酸黄瓜和橄榄。”那位护士说。 The nurses also said patients have started to notice the growing bellies at the ICU. A Banner official said the hospital has been planning for the looming nurse shortage for months now. The nurses, who are due between September and February, will go on maternity leave for 12 weeks. 护士们还说在ICU的病人也注意到了他们日渐增多的大肚子。一位医院的官员说几个月前他们就着手准备应付随之而来的护士短缺了。护士们的预产期在9月至明年2月，而她们的产假是12周。 "The 16 nurses are from three different critical care units," said Heather Francis, nursing director for various ICU units at Banner. 医院的ICU护士总管Heather Francis说：“这16名护士来自ICU的三个不同的重症病房。” The hospital gave each pregnant nurse a special onesie to celebrate the occasion. The onesies say: "Relax... my mom is a Banner Nurse!" 医院给了每个怀孕的护士一件连体婴儿服。上面写着：“放松…我妈妈是Banner医院护士！” 👇 |
