地道的英语翻译一直都不是字对字的翻译，而是从地道的英文里找出文化对等的表达方法。譬如近期新学了一个词：月嫂。我才了解原来美国人也有做月嫂的，而且还有执照可以考。猜猜看，月嫂的英文是什么？
月嫂的英语如何表达？
字典中主要有三种表达方法：confinement nurse；monthly nurse；maternity matron，这三词次都可以表示月嫂，下面是英语中对月嫂的描述。
What is a postpartum doula, and should I consider hiring one?
Some people hire a private labor coach, or doula, to assist during childbirth. Similarly, there are doulas who specialize in helping families after the babys born, easing the burdens of daily life so you can concentrate on your baby.

下面这一段进一步讲解了月嫂都做些什么？
Postpartum doulas dont have medical degrees but rather are trained or experienced in providing care during the first days or weeks after childbirth. Theyll do all sorts of things to help ease your transition to new parenthood — from caring for you and your baby and offering breastfeeding advice to cooking, babysitting, running errands, and even doing light housework.
一般月嫂都没医学学位，但有非常丰富的照顾新生儿的经验。她们可以帮助小白爸爸妈妈更好地进入状况。那她们具体都做些什么呢？照顾你（产妇）、你的大宝贝儿、提供喂奶的建议，还可以助你做饭、照顾孩子、办一些杂事甚至一些家务活。
