幫我改為(片語動詞)的寫法,^_^

Question

The overcrowding (is not the result )of a baby boom among Hong Kong women, who have one of the world lowest birthrates. The rows of bassinets are full instead because of an influx of mainland Chinese women — and the Hong Kong government wants to (discourage them from coming)

Starting on Feb. 1, pregnant mainland women will have to prepay $5,000 for their hospital care before they (are even allowed into )Hong Kong, which has been a semiautonomous Chinese territory since Britain returned it in 1997. Under rules announced Tuesday, immigration officers will( turn back) any mainlander who( appears to be) at least seven months pregnant and has not prepaid..

想請大大能幫我把括號中改成意思相近的片語動詞,或不同寫法的
片語動詞,麻煩了

kevin大,sorry,我敘述的不太清楚
我的意思就是(意思相近, 但是寫法不同)
就是你的此種寫法^_^

另外請教一下
1.come about as a consequence是作何解?
2.可寫成are even let into Hong Kong嗎?我字典查不到let in的用法.
3. shows up不是出現之意嗎?這邊的appear應該指(看起來....)
show up有此意嗎?

Answer 1

Firstly, I don't understand what you meant by "不同寫法". Does it mean "意思相近, 但是寫法不同"?
If you are sure the parentheses are in the right places and insist on using phrasal verbs, then here is the best I can come up with:

The overcrowding doesn't come about as a consequence of a baby boom among Hong Kong women.

And the Hong Kong government wants to keep them away from coming.

Pregnant mainland women will have to prepay $5,000 for their hospital care before they are even let in into Hong Kong.

Immigration officers will send back any mainlander who shows up to be at least seven months pregnant.

3.I intended to have replaced "appear to be" with "seem"or "look", but either of them is a "phrasal verb", as you have asked for.

I think "show up" could appear to be less than satisfactory, though. ^_^
