In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation, is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing?
在一个如此持续推崇生育的社会里，承认自己后悔生孩子，等同于承认自己支持虐杀小猫，这难道令人感到意外吗？
Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wonder if they shouldn't have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in their lives.
不快乐的父母很少会去想自己是否不该生孩子，而不快乐的无子女者却总是被灌输‘孩子是世界上最重要的东西’这一信息：显然，他们的痛苦必定是直接源于生活中那些空缺的、本应有孩子的巨大缺口。
