While there has been a decline in births in the U.S. during the pandemic, a new report released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau suggests the drop may have turned a corner last March as births started rebounding.
儘管美國的出生率在疫情大流行期間一度降低，但美國人口調查與統計局週二發表的一份新報告顯示，出生率的降低問題或許已經好轉，因為3月出生率開始反彈。
"This trend suggests that some people who postponed having babies last year had them this year," said Anne Morse, a Census Bureau demographer in the report.
「這股趨勢意味著，一些去年延後生小孩的人，今年有了寶寶」，美國人口調查與統計局人口學家安妮．摩斯在報告中說。
"The winter decrease in births may have been prompted by couples who consciously chose to delay having children amid the uncertainty of the pandemic. It may also have been influenced by stress or limited physical interaction with a sexual partner." (AP)
「冬季出生率降低，或許是由於夫妻在疫情的不確定中，自覺地選擇延後生孩子所造成，或許也受到壓力，或者與性伴侶身體上親密互動受限的影響」。（美聯社）
