在过去两个月因新冠疫情闭园期间,西伯利亚的一家动物园迎来了动物们的婴儿潮。请看本报昨日的报道: While the people are away, the animals will play. A Siberian zoo in Russia that closed its doors to visitors for over two months due to the novel coronavirus says the lockdown has encouraged a baby boom among its animals. Among the zoo’s new arrivals are rare Egyptian goslings, reindeer calves, llama crias and a baby brown weeper capuchin monkey. “Judging by the baby boom, the lockdown has clearly been good for us because there are a lot of interesting and beautiful baby animals now,” said Andrei Gorban, the director of Krasnoyarsk’s Royev Ruchey Zoo. 报道中的baby boom就是“婴儿潮、生育高峰期”。例如: The increase in births after the war produced what became known as the baby boom generation. 战后出生的婴儿数量大幅增加,这一代人被称为婴儿潮一代。 |
