Vella: Because no one in my family, you know, has twins, so I think it would be cool to be the first one to have twins.

维拉：我家里没有人生双胞胎，所以我想如果第一胎能生双胞胎会很酷。

Daniel: But at the same time, it seems to me to be quite hard to raise like twins because everything comes double, you know.

丹尼尔：可是养双胞胎非常难，因为所有的东西都要准备双份。

丹尼尔：所以会更难，因为这样花费也是双倍的，一切都是双倍的。
