Parents give pocket money to their children in different ways. Some give a lump sum at the beginning of a month or a week. Others prefer to give pocket money on a daily basis.译文：父母以不同的方式给孩子零花钱。
有些家长在周一或每月第一天一次性给孩子零花钱，而有些家长则喜欢每天给零花钱。
语言点：该句的核心结构： Some...Others...一些。
另一些。
固定搭配： in different ways用不同的方式；prefer to do sth更喜欢做。
；on a daily basis每天地；2. The way in which pocket money is given affects how money is spent or saved. On the other hand, the children’s spending habits may affect how pocket money is given.译文：一方面，家长给孩子零花钱的方式会影响到孩子花钱的或者攒钱的方式；另一方面，孩子们花钱的习惯也会影响到家长给零花钱的方式。
语言点： in which pocket money is given是定语从句，修饰The way；写作常用搭配：on the one hand...on the other hand: 一方面...另一方面..3. Pocket money given on a daily basis is sometimes termed as “food money”.译文：每天都给的零花钱有时候称为“饭钱”。
语言点：given on a daily basis是过去分词短语作定语，修饰Pocket money；be termed as:被称作；4. They learn how to manage small sums of money. As the money is limited, they have to control their spending.译文：他们学会如何去花少量的钱。
因为钱的数量是有限的，他们不得不控制着花。

5. Some parents choose this method of allocating pocket money in order to prevent their children from overspending, hoping that in time they can be trusted with larger sums of money.译文：有些家长选择这种方式给孩子零花钱，就是不想让孩子花太多的钱，希望一段时间后能够放心把更多的零花钱交给孩子。

；prevent sb from doing sth:阻止某人做某事；in time经过一段时间后；6. Parents who earn daily wages may also opt for this due to financial constraints.译文：日结工资的家长由于经济紧张也许会选择这种方式。
语言点：who earn daily wages是定语从句，修饰Parents；词汇辨析：wages, salary (工资，薪水)Salary主要说的是月薪或者年薪，比较综合的收入，尤其是正式的工作或者具有比较专业的技能；wages指按小时，天数拿的钱，没有固定性，代表一种临时性！（尤指以手动劳工者) 短语：opt for选择；due to=because of 因为。
7. Giving pocket money on a daily basis places responsibilities of budgeting on the parents, instead of the child.译文：每天给零花钱的做法实际上是要求家长而不是孩子养成谨慎花钱的习惯。
语言点： Giving pocket money on a daily basis这是动名词做主语；短语：place responsibilities on sb:给某人责任；instead of而不是如：I like tea instead of coffee.补充学习：responsibilities（原型responsibility）n 责任，职责；常见同根词：responsible: adj负责任的，短语：be responsible for sth; 反义词：irresponsible: adj 不负责任的。
如：1). Established musicians have a responsibility to guide and assist youngmusicians.2). The minister was responsible for the disaster and resigned.8. This results in children being short-sighted in their spending. The thought of saving money never crossed their minds.
