美国密歇根州夫妻连生14个儿子 遗传基因咨询师称概率低于0.02%

The well-known Kent County couple with 13 sons has welcomed another baby into the family and -- you guessed it -- it's another son.
据美国《大急流报》(The Grand Rapids Press)网站4月18日的消息：密歇根州罗克福德市肯特县这对知名夫妻已生育了13个儿子，近日这个家庭又迎来了另一个婴儿--你猜对了--又是一个儿子。

Jay and Kateri Schwandt on Wednesday, April 18 announced the birth of a baby boy weighing 8 pounds, 4 ounces and 21 inches long.
4月18日，杰伊(Jay)和凯特瑞•施万特(Kateri Schwandt)宣布生下一个体重7.5斤（8磅4盎司）、体长53厘米（21英寸）的男婴。

The baby was born shortly before 6 p.m. and came early, five days before Kateri Schwandt's expected due date.
这名婴儿在18日下午6点前出生，比凯特瑞•施万特的预产期提前了五天。

The Schwandt family, of Rockford, has been chronicled far and wide by media for their large family of boys. The oldest is 25 and the youngest is 2.
多家媒体铺天盖地进行报道罗克福德市施万特家庭连续生育儿子的消息。此前，他们最大的儿子已25岁，最小的只有2岁。

A genetics counselor earlier -- when they were expecting their 13th child -- calculated the chance of giving birth to 12 sons in a row at .02 percent.
在这对夫妻在即将迎来他们第13个孩子时，一位遗传基因咨询师曾计算得出连续生育12个儿子的概率是0.02%。

Whatever the odds, Jay Schwandt is simply happy for a safe delivery for mom and baby.
不管概率如何，杰伊•施万特只是对妻子生育后母子俩都平安感到很高兴。

He said they expect to work on choosing a name for the baby as soon as Wednesday evening.
