They'd rather enjoy life as a couple. It's not hard to see that in the not-distant future, the ratio of young to old people will be seriously out of whack.

我懂，但是您懂我们的心吗?如果我们生了小孩，等你们老了，我们这对小夫妻又要照顾小孩，又要照顾四个老人，负担很重的。生一个还好，但万一生个双胞胎或三胞胎呢？我们还不累得够呛。反正，我觉得二人世界挺好的。

I understand. But, do you understand how we feel? If we have a kid, when you get old, we'll have to look after both the kid and all four of our parents. That's a big burden. One is okay, but what if we have twins, or triplets? We haven't even gotten tired of working ourselves. Besides, I think a couple's world is pretty nice.
