1 Humbert the Hungry Baby

HUMBERT the Hungry Baby "OH MY!" EXCLAIMED the midwife when she delivered the baby. It was the biggest tot the lady had ever seen in her many years of delivering them. He plopped on to the floor of the hospital like a beached whale. "Oh my word!" cried the father.

亨伯特饥饿的婴儿“哦，天哪！”助产士接生时惊叫道。 这是这位女士送孩子这么多年来见过的最大的孩子。 他扑通一声倒在医院的地板上，像一头搁浅的鲸鱼。 “哦，我的天！”父亲叫道。

How had this Skinny bean of a man helped create such a ginormous baby? "Is he beautiful?" asked the baby's anxious mother. She couldn't see her newborn child from where she was lying on the bed. "Well, you know they say "big is beautiful'," replied the father. "Yes?" "He is definitely big." "How big Exactly?"

这个瘦骨嶙峋的男人是如何创造出如此巨大的婴儿的呢？ “他漂亮吗？”孩子的妈妈焦急地问。 她躺在床上看不见她刚出生的孩子。 “嗯，你知道人们常说‘大的就是美的’，”父亲回答。 “是吗?”“他确实很大。” “到底有多大？”

"Just let me weigh him for you, missus!" called out the midwife. With great effort, she hauled this monster baby on to the scales, which immediately broke under his weight. TWANG!

“让我帮你称一下他的体重吧，太太！”助产士喊道。 她费了好大劲才把这个怪物宝宝拖到秤上，秤很快就被它的体重压断了。 砰然一声!

"How much does my darling boy weigh?" asked Mother. The midwife studied the boy. "I would say no more than a baby hippopotamus." "I need to see him!" pleaded Mother. The midwife had to enlist the boy's father to heave the infant up on to his mother's chest. "OOF!" The poor woman was squashed. Her face went bright purple and her eyes bulged. It looked as if they might pop out of her head. "I CAN'T BREATHE!" she mouthed.

“我亲爱的儿子有多重？”妈妈问。 接生婆仔细打量着那个男孩。 “我想说，不过是一头小河马。” “我要见他！”母亲恳求道。 助产士不得不让男孩的父亲把婴儿抱到他母亲的胸前。 “呕!”那个可怜的女人被压扁了。 她的脸变紫了，眼睛鼓了起来。 它们看起来好像要从她的脑袋里蹦出来似的。 “我不能呼吸了！”她用嘴说。
