今天,“代孕合法化要等多久”成为了新浪微博的热门话题
如果要在作文里引用这个案例(那很酷哦),或者和外国友人交谈时提到它,你知道“代孕”该怎么说吗?
代孕 surrogacy /ˈsʌrəɡəsɪ/
解释:Surrogacy is an arrangement by which a woman gives birth to a baby on behalf of a woman who is physically unable to have babies herself, and then gives the baby to her.
动词形式:surrogate
你可以用到的例句:
1)In this country it is still illegal to pay for surrogacy.
有偿代孕在这个国家仍然是违法的。
(扩展用法:to illegalize surrogacy 使这个行为合法化)
2)What are the requirements for surrogates?
Firstly, she is supposed to live in a surrogate-friendlystate.
做代孕母亲有什么要求吗?首先,她必须居住在支持代孕行为的州。
(这里 -fiendly是个很棒的用法,支持的,认可的,有益的,无害的…用起来非常灵活)
3)With affairs, divorce, surrogacy, singal parenthood and betrayal plaguing these incredibly successful women, their love lives read like that of a character in a movie they would play.
绯闻、离婚、代孕、单亲和背叛折磨着这些超级成功的女人,她们的爱情经历啊,简直就和她们扮演过的角色一样。
(这种来自新闻报道的句式很值得我们分解。with...+情况/背景,大家在作文里都已经太熟悉了;
“受到某种问题的困扰”:the issue plagues someone
that of:这里that就是指代之前出现过的love lives——她们的爱情,就像那些角色的爱情)
无论你的观点如何,你可以尝试用以上的词汇句式来表述自己吗?
欢迎评论讨论咯~
