2014年ESL之日常生活 27 Preparing for a New Baby

（单词翻译）

Preparing for a New Baby 

Wanda: Oh hi, I wasn’t expecting you today. 

Enrique: We’ve been cleaning out our garage and your sister said I should come by with a few things for your baby. 

Wanda: That’s really sweet of you guys, but I’m not due for another six months. 

Enrique: But you’ll need these things to get the baby’s room ready, right? 

Wanda: Well, we don’t actually have a baby room set up yet. 

Enrique: There’s no time like the present. Here’s a crib and the mattress¹. It just needs to be assembled. Oh, here are some bumper² pads that go with it. 

Wanda: Great. 

Enrique: Here’s a changing table. 

Wanda: Wow, that’s really big. 

Enrique: Here are two car seats, one for infants and one for toddlers, and here’s a booster seat. 

Wanda: That’s a lot of stuff. Are you sure you want to part with all this? 

Enrique: Positive. Here’s a basic baby monitor and a video monitor so you can keep tabs on the little one. 

Wanda: Whoa, what’s in all these bags? 

Enrique: They’re baby and kids clothes. You’ll need more than you think. 

Wanda: That’s really generous of both of you, but are you sure you want to give it all to me? 

Enrique: Of course, you’re family and this will help you save a lot of money. 

Wanda: And it’ll free up garage space for your new workshop? 

Enrique: Well, why not kill two birds with one stone?
