英国育儿账单大曝光

有报道称，在新生儿出生后的第一年中，父母们预计要花费4000英镑。

　　Parents of newborn babies can expect to spend around 4,000 before their first birthday, according to a report.

　　除了配备婴儿室，还要准备衣服，尿布，寝具，玩具以及食品，为此成千上万的家长真是挥金如土。

　　Millions of parents are left with a substantial hole in their pocket after kitting out a nursery, coupled with the added cost of clothes, nappies, bedding, toys and food.

　　接下来，新手父母们还要承担汽车安全座椅，婴儿推车以及其他的一些零零碎碎的花销。

　　On top of that car seats, pushchairs and other bits and pieces also send the cost soaring for first-time mums and dads.

　　仅有三分之一的家长承认自己“有点高兴过头了”；为了迎接新生命的到来，他们已严重超支。

　　But one in three parents admitted they \'got a bit carried away\' and overspent hugely in preparation for their new arrival.

　　在兴奋与荷尔蒙的共同作用下, 以上物品采购中有52%发生在孕期前半段。

　　And 52 percent of these purchased made during the first half of pregnancy as excitement and hormones kicked-in.
