Proud Papa 令人驕傲的父親
Abidemi: Jeremy, I heard you have a new baby. Congrats on that.
阿比德米：杰里米，我聽說當(dāng)爸爸了。祝賀你。
Jeremy: Thanks.
杰里米：謝謝。
Abidemi: So how has fatherhood changed you inany way?
阿比德米：父親這個(gè)身份有沒有改變你?
Jeremy: You know, it's changed me probably in every way. You know, when you think of howyour life is different, it's basically from when you wake up until – well, you eventually get to goto sleep. Everything is different. But, you know, everything about it is positive, even things thatyou'd think would annoy you actually aren't really that annoying. Like having a toddler comeand wake you up at 6 o'clock in the morning when you've got a cold and you've taken a bunchof sleeping medication the night before, like which happened this morning. And even that, having a toddler wake you up and just looking at you and laughing, it's awesome. It really isawesome. So, you know, I always kind of worried before when I was thinking about having a kidabout all these things – oh, I can't go out at night or I'm going to have to wake up so early inthe morning and I'm going to be woken up in the middle of the night by a screaming child. Allof that stuff really doesn't bother me. It just, you know, it's part of the experience and yeah, sometimes maybe I'd like to sleep a little bit longer. But yeah, waking up and then having alittle guy sit on my lap while he plays with the remote control and changes channels over andover again, I mean, that's somehow a very, very enjoyable experience. But, you know, you getto see a little person change everyday and start figuring things out. And of course, everyperson, every parent thinks that their child is the smartest child in the world. He can turn offand on the light switch, you know, but it's those types of things that you just marvel at. So, you know, I can say like most people that it's everything about it is very positive. But it's oftenjust the really, really small things that make you appreciate this little wonder.
杰里米：父親的身份可能使我各個(gè)方面都發(fā)生了改變。如果想一下生活發(fā)生了哪些改變，基本上從早上起床到晚上睡覺這段時(shí)間，一切都發(fā)生了變化。所有事都變得更積極，就連那些以前會惹惱你的事情現(xiàn)在都不那么令人討厭了。比如，一個(gè)蹣跚學(xué)步的孩子在早上六點(diǎn)把你弄醒，而這時(shí)你還處于感冒中，前一晚吃了很多助眠藥物，這就是今天早上發(fā)生的事情。不過，即使這樣，可是一個(gè)小孩把你弄醒，然后就那樣看著你笑，那種感覺真是太美好了。要孩子之前，我一直在擔(dān)心，比如晚上不能出去玩了，還有早上很早就要起床，晚上睡覺時(shí)會被哭鬧的孩子吵醒?？墒沁@些事情并沒有讓我感到困擾有孩子就是這樣，有時(shí)我想多睡一會兒?？墒俏也坏貌黄鸫?，讓孩子坐在我的腿上，看著他把玩遙控器，不斷地?fù)Q臺，這是極其有趣的經(jīng)歷?？粗⒆用刻於荚谧兓?，一點(diǎn)一點(diǎn)開始自己解決問題，這真的很美好。當(dāng)然，每個(gè)家長都認(rèn)為自己的孩子是世界上最聰明的。他會開關(guān)燈這種事情都會讓你感到驚奇。和大多數(shù)人一樣，當(dāng)爸爸以后我覺得所有事都更積極了。而讓你感到驚嘆的往往是那些小事。
Abidemi: And looking back on the experience now, what are some things that you would wishthat you had known before your little boy came along?
阿比德米：回顧一下這段經(jīng)歷，有哪些事是你希望在有孩子之前能了解清楚的?
Jeremy: Yeah, it's a good question. You know, I was so stressed out for the first couple ofweeks after he was born. And from the moment he was born until he came back home, andthen for the first number of weeks that we was home, we basically just hovered over him forweeks. And, you know, of course, you have to protective and careful of a new born baby. Butnot everything was as serious as we thought it was. And, you know, crying – we were worriedabout waking up our neighbors or we're worrying that, you know, something was seriouslywrong. Babies cry. And if you really get stressed out about it then you're going to make yourlife miserable. So, you know, having done it once, just realizing that, you know, kids cry, kidsget sick, kids throw up, kids need their nappies changed, I would just take a deep breath if Ihave to do it again and just realize, okay, this is just part of the experience. And you just got toroll with it.
杰里米：這是個(gè)好問題。孩子剛出生的那幾周，我壓力非常大。從他出生到我們從醫(yī)院回家，還有回家之后的那幾周，我一直小心地照顧他。當(dāng)然，要小心保護(hù)一個(gè)剛出生的嬰兒。不過并不是所有事都像我們想的那樣嚴(yán)重。比如，孩子的哭聲，我們擔(dān)心孩子晚上哭鬧時(shí)會吵醒鄰居，我們也擔(dān)心孩子哭鬧是因?yàn)樗藝?yán)重的病。不過，孩子都會哭。如果你非常緊張這點(diǎn)，那你的生活會非常痛苦。經(jīng)歷過就會知道，孩子都會哭，都會生病，都會嘔吐，孩子要換尿布，如果要再經(jīng)歷一次，我會深吸一口氣讓自己放松，我會明白，這只是經(jīng)歷的一部分。不用擔(dān)心，順其自然就好。
Abidemi: Okay. That's great.
阿比德米：好。真不錯(cuò)。

薩拉：我喜歡簡單烹飪。我會買已經(jīng)切好的肉，通常我會買雞肉，再買些糙米和蔬菜。買好原料以后，我會把它們切碎，然后等水開以后一起放進(jìn)去煮，最后再加一些調(diào)味品。
Todd: Okay. So you say the water boils, so as soon as the water boils that's when you put inall the ingredients?
托德：好。你說把水煮開，那是水一開你就把所有原料都放進(jìn)去煮嗎?

薩拉：對，沒錯(cuò)。
Todd: So you don't put in the ingredients before the water boils.
托德：在水煮開以前不放原料。

Todd: Okay. Do you put in the flavoring after you put in the ingredients or before you put inthe ingredients?
托德：好。你是在放原料之后加調(diào)味品還是在之前調(diào)味?
Sarah: Maybe after but usually, right about all at the same time.

托德：好。
Sarah: So I just put everything in at one time.
薩拉：我會同時(shí)把所有東西放進(jìn)去。

托德：湯做好以后你是把湯放進(jìn)冰箱嗎?還是先在外面放一會兒?
Sarah: I usually eat some right then, and I also put it in containers for the week. But I let it sitin the containers out on the counter for a while for it to cool before I put in the refrigerator.
薩拉：做好以后我會喝一點(diǎn)兒，然后把要帶去辦公室的湯放在容器里。裝湯的容器要先在廚房的操作臺上放一會兒，然后再放進(jìn)冰箱。

托德：好，很好。那你怎么加熱?你是用鍋熱湯還是用微波爐熱?
Sarah: In the microwave. It's the easiest.
薩拉：用微波爐。這是最簡單的方法。
Todd: Yeah. Nice. So you make enough for five meals?
托德：對，不錯(cuò)。你會做出足夠五頓飯的量?
Sarah: Maybe, sometimes. If I think I will get tired of eating it during the week then maybeI'll just make enough for three or four meals. But if it's some kind that I think is really deliciousand I know I want to eat it everyday, then I'll make a lot.
薩拉：也許吧，有時(shí)是。如果我認(rèn)為這個(gè)湯喝一禮拜我會喝膩，那我可能只做三四頓的量出來。如果我認(rèn)為那個(gè)湯非常好喝，我知道我想每天都喝，那我就會多做一些。
