這個影片中,"dilated" 的意思是放大,擴大或更擴張。你可能有聽過,當女性生孩子時,她的子宮頸口至少要張開到10公分才能開始推動胎兒。影片中,瑞秋對於其他四名婦女比她更早生出孩子感到沮喪,並提到她子宮頸口只有張開到3公分,不足以讓她開始推動胎兒。 例句: Her eyes were extremely dilated. (她的眼睛睜得超大。) 例句: His wife was dilated at six centimetres; not enough to start pushing. (他太太的子宮頸口只張開到6公分、不足以開始推動胎兒。) 例句: The medication is going to dilate your pupils in your eyes. (藥物會擴張你的瞳孔。)
