Voice 1: Doctors have known about these effects on a mother for many years. But in the past few years they have discovered something else. Doctors have confirmed that postpartum depression can affect new fathers too. And a father suffering from postpartum depression can affect his children's future.
声音1：医生早在很多年前就已经知道这些对母亲的影响。但过去几年，他们发现了一些别的东西。医生已经证实，产后抑郁症也会影响初为人父者。而患有产后抑郁症的父亲会影响孩子的未来。
Voice 2: In August 2006, two medical schools released a research study. The researchers studied more than five thousand families. Each family included a nine month old baby. The researchers asked the new mothers and fathers questions about depression. Fourteen percent of new mothers in the study showed signs of depression. The researchers expected this to be the case. But the researchers were surprised that ten percent of the fathers also showed strong signs of depression. This is more than twice the normal rate of depression in men of the general population.
声音2：2006年8月，两所医学院发布了一项研究报告。研究人员研究了5000多个家庭。每个家庭都有一个九个月大的婴儿。研究人员向新父母询问有关抑郁症的问题。研究中有14%的新妈妈表现出抑郁迹象。研究人员预计到情况会是这样。但令研究人员感到惊讶的是，10%的父亲也表现出强烈的抑郁症状。这是普通人群中男性抑郁症正常发病率的两倍多。
Voice 1: Another study showed similar results. A British research study looked at twenty thousand new parents. Their babies were eight months old at the beginning of the study. And the study continued until the children were three and a half years old. The British study found that ten percent of mothers, and four percent of fathers showed signs of depression.
声音1：另一项研究显示了类似的结果。英国的一项研究调查了两万名新父母。研究开始时，他们的婴儿只有八个月大。研究一直持续到孩子们三岁半。这项英国研究发现，10%的母亲和4%的父亲有抑郁迹象。
Voice 2: Both of these studies wanted to research the effect of a father's depression on his children. Babies need a lot of play and communication. This helps them develop physically, mentally, and emotionally. These studies found that depressed fathers did not communicate enough with their babies. The fathers did not play with or tell stories to their babies.
声音2：这两项研究都想研究父亲抑郁对孩子的影响。婴儿需要大量的玩耍和交流。这有助于他们在身体、心理和情感上的发展。这些研究发现，患抑郁症的父亲与他们的孩子交流不足。父亲没有和他们的孩子玩耍，也没有给他们讲故事。
