柏林动物园于本周一称，熊猫妈妈梦梦于上周六下午6点54分产下一只手大小的粉红色幼崽。

According to the zoo, mothering came naturally to the 6-year-old panda: She placed the tiny creature gently on her belly and began to warm it lovingly with her big paws, warm breath, and the soft fur of her cheeks.

”据动物园介绍，这只6岁的熊猫天生就是妈妈的料:她把这只小动物轻轻地放在她的肚子上，开始用她的大爪子、温暖的呼吸和她脸颊上柔软的皮毛爱抚它。

”An hour later, its twin was born.

一个小时后，它的双胞胎出生了。

Keepers only confirmed last week that Meng Meng was pregnant.

She had mated with 9-year-old partner Jiao Qing in April, and was also artificially inseminated to increase the likelihood of pregnancy.

饲养员上周才确认梦梦怀孕了。

4月，她与9岁的伴侣娇庆交配，并人工授精以增加怀孕的可能性。

Meng Meng and Jiao Qing arrived from China in June 2017.

梦梦和娇庆于2017年6月从中国抵达。
