托福词汇之“breast-sleeping”

2015-10-15来源:互联网

  Breastsleeping refers to the practice of sharing a bed with an infant as anaid to breastfeeding.

  “母乳安眠”是指和婴儿睡一张床以帮助母乳喂养的行为。

  这个词是由breastfeeding(母乳喂养)和co-sleeping(共眠)演化而来的,看了词源基本就能理解它的意思,非常好记。

  For example:

  In a peer-reviewed report published in Acta Paediatrica, McKenna arguesthat we should return to "breastsleeping," a co-sleeping model that mothersaround the world have been practicing for thousands of years.

  在学术期刊《儿科学报》上发表的一篇同行评议报告中麦肯纳提出,我们应该恢复“母乳安眠”,数千年来,世界各地的母亲都在用这种共眠模式。
