Part 4 Linda's Having a Baby  Linda临产了

Dialogue Script 1  对话原文 1

Sam: Please write some motherly advice in our mother's book, ladies!
Linda: Sam, thank you so much for organizing this all for me.
Sam: Well, it's not like we could let you do it yourself.
Linda: I know, but you guys made me feel so special. You even got candy diaper pin favors.
Sam: They fit our diaper theme - something you'll be expert on soon.
Linda: Whoa...maybe sooner than we think! Start timing!

讲解：

1. 话中，baby shower不得不结束了，因为Linda临产了。Sam最后请大家在派对留言簿上留言，motherly，表示“母性的，母爱的”，比如说，motherly love, motherly affection，motherly care就都可以表示“母亲的疼爱，关怀”。

2. 在等救护车的空当，Linda感谢Sam花心思为她准备了这个baby shower，这些好朋友让Linda感到自己特别的幸福。他们还特意准备了尿布别针形的糖块，因为很切合这次baby shower的主题，而且生了孩子之后，Linda就会成为这方面的专家了，an expert on sth，表示“是某个方面的专家”。

3. 这时Linda的阵痛更强烈了，时间紧迫。timing的意思是“时间的选择或安排，时机的掌握”，比如说，He's not playing his shots well - his timing is faulty. 他没有打好，时间掌握不当。The timing of the announcement was rather unexpected. 选择那个时间公布结果真是出乎意料。
