Sarah: Well, I guess I'm both. Right now, I'm on maternity¹ leave and I'm on six months of maternity leave.

萨拉：嗯，我想我两者都是。目前我在休产假，我正在休为期6个月的产假。

 

John: What does that mean?

约翰：这是什么意思？

 

Sarah: So maternity leave is when you have a job but then you become pregnant² or you're going to have a baby, maybe adopt, too. So you're going to have a baby, and so you take time off of work to stay home with the new baby.

萨拉：产假是指你有工作，不过因为你怀孕了或者即将生产，或是领养，在你要生产的时候，你可以休假，留在家里照顾孩子。
