今年結(jié)婚的人真不少，估計(jì)那些蜜月旅游勝地該樂(lè)得合不攏嘴了。如果你覺(jué)得跟這么多人擠沒(méi)意思，那就等一段時(shí)間，在做好當(dāng)父母的心理準(zhǔn)備之后去度個(gè)babymoon吧！

The term babymoon comes from the more traditional term honeymoon, which is a vacation taken by a newlywed couple after their wedding ceremony. The original meaning of babymoon is a period of time that parents spend bonding with a recently-born baby.

Babymoon一詞來(lái)源于我們熟知的honeymoon，即新婚夫婦在婚禮之后享受的“蜜月”。Babymoon最初的意思是指父母與新出生的嬰兒在一起培養(yǎng)感情的一段時(shí)光，即“寶貝蜜月”。

More recently the term has come to be used to describe a vacation taken by a couple that is expecting a baby in order to allow the couple to enjoy a final trip together before the many sleepless nights that usually accompany a newborn baby.

后來(lái)，這個(gè)詞又用來(lái)指代即將為人父母的夫妻在孩子出生之前享受的最后一次二人之旅，即“產(chǎn)前蜜月”或“孕期蜜月”。孩子出生以后等待他們的將是無(wú)數(shù)個(gè)無(wú)眠之夜。

Babymoon can also be used for a trip taken by a couple even before they get pregnant. As long as the trip is intended to be a final romantic fling before venturing into parenthood.

另外，只要是成為父母之前最后一次浪漫二人之旅，夫妻二人在懷孕前共度的假期也可以用babymoon來(lái)表示。
