So when humans talk to cute little babies, we use motherese.

当人类跟可爱的小宝宝说话时，我们使用妈妈语。

So one of the coolest things is that bat mothers use their own version of motherese with their young.

最酷的一件事是蝙蝠母亲使用自己版本的“妈妈语”跟孩子交流。

In soothing motherese, she points out the smiling turtles and happy fish that form a little underwater parade on his swim trunks.

她用慈母般的语气安慰他，指着他泳裤上在水下列队的微笑海龟和快乐鱼儿花纹。

She calls it “motherese” : basically, a kind of baby talk aimed at their pups to guide them toward adult bat language.

她称之为“妈妈语”——算是以引导幼崽学会成年蝙蝠语言为目标的儿语。

This makes the bat babies babble back, and it might help them learn specific words or referential sounds the same way that motherese helps human babies acquire language.

这让蝙蝠宝宝咿咿呀呀地回话，帮助它们学习特定单词或指代声音，就像妈妈语帮助人类婴儿学会语言一样。
