问题     在大家庭(extended family)里,老一辈人的意见受到尊重,小一辈人得到全家的呵护。中国宪法(Constitution)规定赡养父母是成年子女义不容辞的责任。在城市里,不和家里老人一起住的年轻夫妇给老人提供生活费(living allowance)并帮助他们干家务活儿。在农村,尽管不少大家庭解体了,许多结了婚的儿子和他的家人还和父母住在同一个院子里。对他们来说,分家不过是分灶而已。结了婚的儿子往往把房子盖在父母家附近,这样父母和子女互相帮助、探望都和过去一样方便。

选项

答案 In extended families, the older members’ opinions are respected, and the younger members are treated with affection and care by all. The Constitution of China stipulates that grown-up children are duty-bound to support their parents. In the cities, young couples who do not live with their aged parents offer the latter living allowances and help them with the household chores. In the countryside, though quite a number of extended families have dissolved, many married sons and their families continue to live in the same courtyard with their parents. To them, breaking up the extended family means only cooking their meals separately. Most often they have their houses built near their parents’ home, making parents and children help and visit each other as convenient as before.

解析 1.第一句中,“老一辈人”和“小一辈人”指的是年长者和年轻者,可分别译为the older members和the youngermembers;“呵护”可译为treat with affection and care。
2.第二句中,“规定”可译为stipulate,“赡养”可译为support。
3.第三句中,“不和家里老人一起住的"翻译时可处理为定语从句who do not live with their aged parents;“家务活儿”可译为household chores或domestic chores。
4.第五句中,“分灶”指的是分开来做饭,即cook their meals separately;“这样……方便”可处理为现在分词结构作结果状语,译为making parents and children help and visit each other as convenient as before。
