[00:05.80]Babies have been a popular subject [00:09.12]on social media in recent days. [00:12.88]People are writing a lot on Twitter [00:16.40]and other social media platforms [00:19.56]about the impending birth [00:22.21]of the first child of Britain's Prince Harry [00:26.04]and Meghan Markel, the Duchess of Sussex. [00:30.80]She and her husband, married in 2018, [00:35.49]have been keeping many details about the baby's birth secret. [00:41.48]They say they do not know the baby's sex [00:46.72]and have not told the public where the baby will be born. [00:53.12]The secrecy around the birth [00:55.92]has been a hot issue on social media. [01:00.80]Writer Tina Brown noted [01:03.57]that she supports Meghan Markel's decision [01:07.24]to keep details of the baby's birth private [01:11.08]– a decision that breaks [01:13.84]from what Britain's royal family has done in the past. [01:19.24]"I think Meghan is totally entitled [01:22.32]to do things differently," she wrote. [01:26.00]American broadcaster Kasie Hunt [01:30.13]wrote that she supports the Duchess of Sussex. [01:34.92]In a Tweet, she added [01:37.11]that Meghan Markle's critics can "#getoffmylawn." [01:43.28]This is a term an older adult might use [01:47.32]to chastise young people [01:49.79]for doing something they are not supposed to do. [01:53.88]Many media organizations have released [01:58.40]or published stories about where the baby will be [02:03.76]in the royal succession line. [02:07.40]The television program "Good Morning America" [02:11.36]noted that the baby will be seventh in line for the throne. [02:17.60]The Evening Standard, a British publication, [02:21.56]noted that the secrecy surrounding the birth [02:25.28]has created a situation for some people to gamble. [02:30.52]Specifically, they are making predictions [02:34.00]about the sex and name of the baby, [02:37.68]which bookmakers expect to be a girl. [02:42.24]Many believe that Grace, Diana, or Elizabeth [02:47.00]will be the name if the baby is a girl. [02:51.40]If it is a boy, many suspect the name will be Albert, [02:56.56]Arthur, or James. [02:59.52]And that is What's Trending Today. [03:03.24]I'm John Russell. 更多听力请访问51VOA.COM
