Zhang said in a Weibo post on Monday that he has been stranded in the U.S. for over a year because he and his family “must take care of and protect two young and innocent lives.”
週一，張恆發微博稱，他被困在美國已經一年多了，因爲他和他的家人“必須照顧和保護兩個年幼無辜的生命”。Later, the local press obtained two birth certificates from the states of Colorado and Nevada, respectively, for the couple’s elder son and younger daughter. 隨後，當地媒體分別從科羅拉多州和內華達州，獲得了這對夫婦的大兒子和小女兒的兩張出生證明。strand / strænd / v.使滯留innocent / ˈɪnəsənt / adj. 無辜的birth certificate 出生證明隨後曝光的錄音更是令人毛骨悚然。原來在代孕之後，一家人竟然還在想着打胎和遺棄。
Throughout Ukraine, advertisements about becoming a surrogate mother are plastered on buses and throughout the metro.在整個烏克蘭，關於成爲代孕媽媽的廣告貼在公共汽車和地鐵上。 They ask: “Аre you aged between 18 and 35? Do you have healthy children? Are you physically and psychologically fit? Are you law-abiding?”它們會這樣問：“你的年齡在18歲到35歲之間嗎？你有健康的孩子嗎？你的身體和心理健康嗎？你遵紀守法嗎？”

然而在實際操作中，風險往往比回報高得多。一位名叫Alina的女孩這樣講述自己的代孕經歷：“We were all very stressed. Most of the women come from small villages and are in hopeless situations,” she said. “We spent the first week just lying around, crying. We couldn’t eat. This is a typical situation for surrogates.”“我們都感到焦慮不安。大多數婦女來自小村莊，處境都非常令人絕望，”她說。“第一週我們就只是躺在那裏哭。我們吃不下任何東西。這是代孕媽媽的典型情況。”“We were treated like cattle and mocked by doctors,” Alina said. 阿莉娜說：“我們被當成牲口一樣對待，還被醫生嘲笑。
“An anesthesiologist arrived wearing a down jacket,” rather than scrubs, inside the makeshift hospital, and she gave birth.
“一個麻醉師穿着羽絨服來到這裏，”沒有清洗消毒，她就在臨時醫院裏把孩子生了下來。
Several hours later, she watched the baby die on a table nearby while medical workers were trying to save her own life, she said. She was bleeding internally and vomiting.
紀錄片中，一個代孕媽媽說了句扎心的話：“我懷孕，是爲了以後讓女兒不用再當代孕媽媽”。而如今，在新冠病毒全球大流行的背景下，海外代孕也受到不小的影響。因很多國家限制出境，不少代孕公司被迫“囤積嬰兒”，甚至一些本該領走嬰兒的買家，因收入縮水，沒有足夠的資金付清尾款，臨時改變主意，造成“嬰兒拒收”的現象。Over 100 children born to surrogate mothers are currently stranded in Ukraine because their new parents are not allowed to enter the country due to the pandemic. 目前，烏克蘭有100多名代孕母親所生的孩子滯留在此，因爲新冠疫情的大流行，孩子們的新父母不能夠入境。
