The Best Gift

I with (my) husband (have) got married (for) five years (already), but still not  “want to have” (any) child. (We being like this) not “is (because)” (we do) not want to  “want to have”  (a child), (it) really “is (because)” (our) work (is) too busy. I and husband both very like kids, every time, looking at friend’s family’s kids, (we) all (of every time) are thinking: how come they (are) that cute? But our jobs now really (are) both very painstaking, mainly “is (because)” work-overtime time (being) too long, sometimes weekends (we) also need to go to (the) office room.

(My) husband this year (is) 36, I (am) 33. We both (are) not young anymore, plus I want to “want to have” two kids: one “ge” (of) big brother, one “ge” (of) little sister. Last night I again with husband talked about “really quick” (the) thing (of) “wanting to have” (a) child, he too felt (that) we not can more over wait (anymore). So, I plan to from now (on) start to look for one “fen” (of) new job, change one “ge” (job that) work-overtime not (being) that much. (How about) (my) husband(?), (he will) start to look at houses, because we also need to change one “tao”(/suite) (of) bigger house, prepare-(with the result of preparing)-well (the) room for (our) child. I (have) already prepared-(with the result of preparing)-well to be (a) mother, I believe, (a) child will be the best gift (that) life gives us.

最好的礼物
我和丈夫结婚已经五年了,可还没有孩子。不是不想有孩子,真是工作太忙。我和丈夫都喜欢小孩,每次看着好朋友的孩子,我们都觉得,小孩们怎么那么可爱。我们的工作都很辛苦,主要是加班时间太长了,有时候周末也要去办公室。

我的丈夫今年三十五岁了,我三十三岁,我们都不年轻了,而且我想有连个儿子,一个哥哥,一个妹妹。昨晚我和丈夫又说了说有孩子的事情,他也觉得我们不能再等,所以我打算从现在找一个新的工作,换一个工作没有加班那么多。我丈夫呢,他开始找一个房子,因为我们也要换一套更大的, 给孩子准备好房间。我已经准备好做母亲,我相信孩子是生活给我们最好的礼物的。
