Yummy mummy is a slang term used in the United Kingdom to describe young, attractive and wealthy mothers. The term developed in the 2000s, and was often applied¹ to celebrity² mothers such as Liz Hurley or Victoria Beckham, who appeared to quickly regain³ their pre-pregnancy figures after giving birth, and would continue to lead carefree and affluent⁴ lifestyles.

Yummy mummy是英国俚语，指那些年轻、漂亮又有钱的妈妈们，我们简称为“漂亮妈妈”。这个词出现于本世纪初期，多用来描述伊丽莎白•赫利或维多利亚•贝克汉姆等明星妈妈，她们能在产后迅速恢复身材，然后继续过着她们无忧无虑且富足的生活。

The stereotypical⁵ yummy mummy was described by Nirpal Dhaliwal in The Times as having an existence "bankrolled by a husband working himself to death in the City, (dressing⁶) in designer outfits⁷... carries the latest must-have bag (and) whose hair and nails are perfectly⁸ groomed⁹". A yummy mummy would have several children and yet remain a "girl-about-town", dressing fashionably and appearing well-groomed and carefree.

英国《泰晤士报》的记者尼帕尔•达利沃将“漂亮妈妈”们的标准形象描述为“由一位拼命工作的丈夫提供资金支持，身着名家设计的衣服，手提最新款潮流名包，头发和指甲也都精雕细琢”。“漂亮妈妈”可能有好几个孩子，不过还是保持着“城内名媛”的地位，衣着时尚，举止得体，一副忧烦不扰的样子。

It was reported in 2008 that celebrity yummy mummies were contributing to levels of depression in young mothers, making new mothers feel "saggy¹⁰, baggy¹¹ and depressed¹²" about their own bodies.

据2008年的一份报告称，明星漂亮妈妈是导致年轻妈妈们抑郁的因素之一，因为这些明星妈妈让普通的年轻妈妈觉得自己的身体“松垮、走样”，所以“很沮丧”。
