（单词翻译）

Admiring a Baby 

Maya: Isn’t this baby precious? She is just darling. Coo chi coo. 

Jean-Paul: Why do women fawn¹ over babies? One baby looks pretty much like any other. 

Maya: You wouldn’t say that if you’d ever spent time with babies. Come over here and look at this one. She’s a doll and her face is so expressive². Aren’t you a little doll? Aren’t you? 

Jean-Paul: I’m not wasting my time looking at a little brat³. Let’s go. 

Maya: Wait, she’s smiling. Come look! 

Jean-Paul: She has gas and needs to be burped. I don’t even need to look at her to know that. 

Maya: You wouldn’t say that if you looked at her face. She has the most angelic expression on her face and the sweetest temperament⁴. 

Jean-Paul: Whatever. 

Maya: Just come over here and look at her. 

Jean-Paul: You’re not going to let me leave without looking at her, are you? 

Maya: I think you’ll find her just as lovable and adorable as I do. 

Jean-Paul: All right, let’s take a look at this precious darling of an angel with an expressive face. 

Maya: See what I mean? 

Jean-Paul: She is, well, kind of cute and cuddly⁵. 

Maya: When you see her don’t you just want to... 

Jean-Paul: Coo chi coo. Coo chi coo.
