环球慢速英语 爸爸也会得产后抑郁症(4)

（单词翻译）

Voice 2: But one thing is sure. Depressed¹ fathers do have an effect on their children. Paul Ramchandani led the British study. He says that depression² in mothers often affects both daughters and sons. But depression in fathers has a greater effect on sons. Sons of depressed fathers are more likely to have behavioral problems.

声音2：但有一件事是肯定的。抑郁的父亲确实对他们的孩子产生影响。保罗·拉姆昌达尼领导了这项英国研究。他表示，母亲的抑郁症往往对女儿和儿子都有影响。但父亲的抑郁对儿子的影响更大。如果父亲抑郁，儿子更有可能出现行为问题。

Voice 1: Why is this? Well, depressed fathers may not spend as much time with their children as they should. That was the case in this next story. A father who suffered from postpartum depression tells of his experience:

声音1：为什么会这样？抑郁的父亲可能没有花足够多的时间陪孩子。下一个故事就是这样。一位患有产后抑郁症的父亲讲述了他的经历：

Voice 3: "As a first-time father I wanted to be able to take care of our new baby and my wife, as well as look after the finances³ and work... Basically⁴, I wanted to look after everyone and everything. Except I did not take care of myself."

声音3：“第一次做父亲的我希望能够照顾我们的新生儿和我的妻子，同时也能照顾经济和工作……基本上，我想顾好每个人和每件事。只是我没有照顾好自己。”

"A turning point for me was when I held our little baby and just started crying. I had been keeping away from our little girl because I did not want her to see that I was weak and depressed. Holding her close, letting go of everything, and just being me, helped me to be the father I am today."

“当我抱着我们的小宝宝开始哭泣时，这对我来说是一个转折点。我一直在远离我们的女儿，因为我不想让她看到我的软弱和沮丧。抱紧她，放下一切，做我自己，这帮助我成为今天的父亲。”

"You do not have to be strong as a rock. Express yourself and do not keep things inside. My whole experience of depression as a new young father was the most difficult thing in my life. But it was also a gift because it opened my eyes, soul, and heart."

“你不一定要坚如磐石。表达自己，不要把事情藏在心里。作为年轻的新父亲，我的整个抑郁症经历是我一生中最艰难的事情。但这也是一份礼物，因为它打开了我的眼界、灵魂和心灵。”
