“labour”作为动词，还有一个比较常见的意思，表示“一再重申；反复说明 ”【If you labour a point or an argument, you keep making the same point or saying the same thing, although it is unnecessary.】
例如：
I don't want to labour the point but there it is.
我不想反复重申，但还是不得不说。
同时，作为不可数名词，还有一个比较小众的意思，表示“分娩；临盆 ”【Labour is the last stage of pregnancy, in which the baby is gradually pushed out of the womb by the mother.】
例如：
I thought the pains meant I was going into labour .
我还以为这些疼痛意味着我要生了呢。

【熟词生义】
例如：
Her husband had to deliver the baby himself.
她丈夫不得不自己接生孩子。
说到“分娩”，这里顺便分享五个关于“怀孕”的表达：
①have a bun in the oven 怀孕，身怀六甲
（这是一个比较委婉的表达，字面意思是：烤炉里有面包，也是一个“informal”的用法，只需了解即可~）
② be in the (pudding) club 怀孕，肚子大了
③conceive v. 怀孕
【熟词生义】
【When a woman conceives, she becomes pregnant.】
例如：
About one in six couples has difficulty conceiving .
大约1/6的夫妻有受孕困难。
④carry v.怀孕;怀上(孩子)
【熟词生义】
例如：
There are many theories that claim to be able to predict whether you're carrying a boy or a girl.
有许多理论声称能够预测胎儿的性别。
电影《忠犬八公的故事》也出现了这个表达：
⑤expect v.怀孕
【If you say that a woman is expecting a baby, or that she is expecting, you mean that she is pregnant.】
例如：
She was expecting another baby.
