Gestation is used both literally for pregnancy in mammals and figuratively for the development of ideas, projects, or creative works. The human gestation period is approximately forty weeks. The figurative use is common in media and creative contexts — 'the novel was in gestation for years.' It collocates with 'period,' 'long,' 'weeks,' and 'process.'

gestation 既可以字面上指哺乳动物的妊娠，也可以比喻性地指想法、项目或创意作品的发展。人类的妊娠期约为四十周。比喻用法在媒体和创作语境中很常见——'the novel was in gestation for years（这部小说酝酿了多年）'。常与'period''long''weeks'和'process'搭配使用。

Gestation se emplea tanto en sentido literal para la preñez en mamíferos como en sentido figurado para el desarrollo de ideas, proyectos u obras creativas. El período de gestación humano es de aproximadamente cuarenta semanas. El uso figurado es habitual en los medios de comunicación y contextos creativos: 'the novel was in gestation for years' (la novela estuvo gestándose durante años). Suele combinarse con 'period', 'long', 'weeks' y 'process'.

gestation は哺乳類の妊娠を文字通りに表す場合と、アイデア、プロジェクト、創作物の発展を比喩的に表す場合の両方で使われる。ヒトの妊娠期間は約40週間である。比喩的用法はメディアや創作の場面でよく見られ、「the novel was in gestation for years（その小説は何年もかけて温められた）」のように使う。「period」「long」「weeks」「process」との共起が多い。

임신(gestation)은 포유류의 임신을 문자 그대로 나타내는 의미와 아이디어, 프로젝트, 창작물의 발전을 비유적으로 나타내는 의미 모두로 사용된다. 인간의 임신 기간은 약 40주이다. 비유적 용법은 미디어와 창작 분야에서 흔하다 — '그 소설은 수년간 구상 중이었다'. 'period', 'long', 'weeks', 'process'와 함께 쓰인다.
