《English Translation》

黄刚: 陈花, did you read the Hunan Daily today? A female celebrity went through 16 IVF treatments over 7 years, but still failed. It's really heartbreaking.
陈花: I just read it too. 3,200 injections—it’s terrifying just to think about it. Actually, some colleagues at school have gone through IVF too. I’ve heard the process is physically and mentally exhausting, especially for women.
黄刚: Yes, sometimes society places too many demands on women. There are couples at our workplace who haven’t had children yet either. They may have gone through unseen struggles.
陈花: Exactly, outsiders can hardly understand what it’s truly like. We should offer more understanding and support, not pressure young couples like some older folks always do.
黄刚: Right. Even though medicine has advanced, it’s not omnipotent. I remember the newspaper also said that the older you are, the lower the IVF success rate. These cases remind us how important a healthy lifestyle is.
陈花: That’s why we should take care of our bodies—keep a regular routine, don’t stay up late, exercise more—so we don’t regret it later.
