短释义：
Womb is a slightly more casual, everyday way to say uterus. Whichever word you use, it’s the name of the organ that biologically female mammals have for growing fetuses before birth. Many animals have two wombs, but humans just have one. In Old English, womb meant “uterus,” but it also meant “belly, bowels, or heart.”
子宫是雌性哺乳动物在胎儿准备出生之前生长和携带胎儿的器官。你的第一个家是子宫，但祝你回到那里好运。

子宫是一种更随意、更日常的说法。无论您使用哪个词，它都是雌性哺乳动物在出生前用于发育胎儿的器官的名称。许多动物有两个子宫，但人类只有一个。在古英语中，womb 的意思是“子宫”，但也意味着“腹部、肠子或心脏”。
