When Raven was 15 years old, she was eating a meal at a local fast food restaurant with her older sister, who was more than seven months pregnant.
当瑞雯15岁时，她和怀孕七个多月的姐姐在当地一家快餐店吃饭。
They talked about this and that. They also guessed whether the baby would be a boy or a girl.
她们闲聊着各种话题，还猜测肚子里的宝宝是男孩还是女孩。
The sisters finished their lunch and walked towards the door. An elderly woman was walking past. Neither of the girls knew her.
姐妹俩吃完午饭走向门口时，一位老妇人正从旁边经过，她们都不认识这位老人。
Raven happened to make eye communication with the elderly woman when she noticed Raven’s sister. The elderly woman smiled.
当老妇人注意到瑞雯的姐姐时，瑞雯恰好与她有了眼神交流，老妇人随即露出了微笑。
“Oh, look at that!” the woman suddenly said loudly. “You’re having a little boy!”
“噢，快看哪！”老妇人突然大声说道，“你怀的是个小男孩！”
She touched Raven’s arm and said, “You’re going to have a beautiful nephew, young lady!”
她拍了拍瑞雯的手臂说：“小姑娘，你就要有一个漂亮的外甥啦！”
Raven and her sister just smiled and continued their way. After a while, her sister said, “It’s strange, huh?”
瑞雯和姐姐只是笑了笑便继续赶路，过了一会儿，姐姐说道：“真奇怪，是吧？”
It was not a harmful experience, but the sisters were both shocked by the woman’s words.
虽然这并非什么不好的经历，但姐妹俩都被老妇人的话震惊了。
First, how did she know they were sisters? Okay, she might have noticed Raven and her sister looked similar.
首先，她怎么知道她们是姐妹？好吧，也许她注意到瑞雯和她姐姐长得像。
But why would she know that the baby would be a boy? Perhaps that was just a lucky guess; after all, she had a fifty-fifty chance of being right.
但她怎么会知道宝宝是男孩呢？也许那只是运气好猜中了，毕竟她有百分之五十的概率猜对。
Most people probably would have asked whether it was going to be a boy or a girl, but this woman seemed to know.
大多数人可能都会问是男是女，但这名老妇人却似乎早已知晓。
It turned out she was right. Two months later, Raven’s sister gave birth to a boy — a “beautiful nephew” for Raven.
结果她真的说对了，两个月后，瑞雯的姐姐生下了一个男孩——瑞雯有了一个“漂亮的外甥”。
