（一）"Tocophobia [fear of childbirth] is a distressing psychological disorder that is growing at an alarming rate," said Simon Mehigan, a consultant midwife at the hospital. Most of the women with birth trauma he works with "are so fearful about giving birth for the second or third time that they are making themselves unwell". Typically, this fear is a result of experiences during the first pregnancy or delivery and can often be traced back to a lack of information or explanation about what was happening, he added.

Dr Tracey Johnstone, a consultant in foetal maternal medicine at Birmingham Women\'s hospital, said a more confessional culture, soap operas\' portrayal of birth as painful and dramatic, and women\'s reluctance to withstand labour pain lie behind the increase.

"Women are more frightened of labour and delivery now. Among women there almost seems to be a competition about who has suffered the most during childbirth, talking about 18-hour labours and the like, and that scares other women before they have their babies," said Johnstone.

“分娩恐懼是一種令人痛苦的心理障礙，目前患者數量正以驚人的速度增長，”該醫院助產咨詢師西蒙·梅西根表示。大多數前來咨詢的女性患者“實在太害怕再生第二、第三胎了，她們把自己弄得很難受”。這種恐懼感通常來源于初次妊娠、分娩的可怕經歷，之所以會這樣，通常是由于孕婦在妊娠、生產過程中得不到足夠的信息，掌握不了確切的情況，他補充道。

伯明翰婦科醫院母胎醫學顧問特蕾西·約翰斯通醫生表示，由于當今社會自爆風潮盛行，肥皂劇普遍夸大了生育的痛苦，加之很多女性不愿忍受產痛的折磨，導致分娩恐懼患者激增。

"Women are more frightened of labour and delivery now. Among women there almost seems to be a competition about who has suffered the most during childbirth, talking about 18-hour labours and the like, and that scares other women before they have their babies," said Johnstone.

“現在的女人普遍比以前害怕生孩子。誰生孩子最受罪幾乎成為女人之間相互比拼的焦點，她們談論著長達18個小時的產痛，以及諸如此類的可怕經歷，把那些還沒有做媽媽的女人嚇壞了。”約翰斯通說。

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, film review

Let it be said straight away that the seventh film in the Harry Potter series, by now a predictably reliable brand, achieves precisely what it sets out to do, laying the groundwork for next year’s final episode in this decade-long franchise.

Even better news is that the shooting style in the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is more dynamic and visceral than in the past three outings, providing a much-needed jolt of adrenalin, in the same way the third (and best) Potter film, The Prisoner of Azkaban, stepped up a few gears from its blander predecessors. Directing his third Harry Potter episode, David Yates offers his most creative, thoughtful work to date.

But is it my imagination, or is every one of these films marketed approvingly as darker than those preceding it? Deathly Hallows: Part 1 certainly is, and its first line, spoken by Bill Nighy as the Minister of Magic, confirms as much: “These are dark times, there’s no denying.”

讓我們開門見山的說，哈利波特系列，這塊無可置疑的金字招牌的第七部絕對不辱使命，為這個長達十年的系列明年的終結篇做足了鋪墊。

更好的消息是，該片的拍攝風格比起同系列之前三部更加生動有力，扣人心弦，

時不時讓人腎上腺素分泌加速，哈利波特系列電影中的第三部也是最好的一部——《哈利波特與阿茲卡班的囚徒》也憑借這一點超越了不溫不火的前兩部。大衛·葉慈在其執導的第三部哈利波特電影中呈現出了他迄今最富創造力和想象力的成果。

但到底是我自己的幻覺還是這些哈里波特電影的宣傳造勢恨不得一部比一部黑暗驚悚?至少《哈利波特與死亡圣器》(上)無疑是這樣，正如電影的第一句臺詞中，由比爾奈伊飾演的魔法部長向我們保證的：“現在是黑暗的時代，這一點無可否認。”
