924　Just in case 以防万一

The ultrasound didn't reveal the baby's sex, and since the expectant father had orders from the Navy to ship out before the due date, he told his wife, “We'd better pick out a boy's name, just in case.” But when it was time for him to report for duty, they still hadn't decided. At sea a few weeks later, he got notification that his son, Justin Kase, had been born.

超声波检查没有显示出胎儿的性别，而准父亲已经接到海军的命令，要在妻子的预产期到来之前出海，他就对妻子说：“我们得准备一个男孩的名字，以防万一。”但是，到了他该去报到的时候，他们仍然没有选定用什么名字。几个星期以后，他在海上接到通知，他的儿子“以防万一”已出生。
