“待产妇女”常见的英文表达是 “woman in labor” 或 “expectant mother(in the later stages of pregnancy, approaching childbirth)” ,不过更精准常用、直接体现“待产”这一状态的表述是 “laboring woman” (这里“laboring”强调正处于分娩过程中的状态,也可引申用于描述待产但即将进入分娩阶段的情形) ,也可说 “a woman about to give birth” 。
以下是一些例句帮助理解:
The hospital has arranged a special ward for laboring women.(医院为待产妇女安排了专门的病房。)
My sister is a laboring woman, and we're all waiting anxiously for the good news.(我姐姐是位待产妇女,我们都在焦急地等待好消息。)
