第184句:
To classify parenting as a personal cholce for which there is no collective responsibility 18 not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting; really, it is to steal those benefits because they accrue (不斷積累 )to the whole of society as today's children become tomorrow's productive citizenry (公民 ).
把父母撫養孩子界定為不需社會整體負責的個人選擇不單是忽略了良好的教養會給社會帶來的效益,事實上,這是竊取了那些利益,因為今天的孩子會成為未來不斷繁衍生息的社會公民,對于整個社會來說,這種利益是不斷積累的。
六級詞匯講解:
本句的主干是To classify parenting...is not ...to ignore...benefits; ...it is to steal...benefits...o本句包含兩個分句。不定式短語To classify parenting...是第一個分句的主語,同樣也是第二個分句的主語it所指代的內容,其中for which引導的是personal choice的定語從句,for和responsibility構成搭配。because引導的是第二個分句的原因狀語從句,其中as引導的是時間狀語從句,todays和tomorrow's體現了時間的漸進性。
