income.

爸爸媽媽當然經常給孩?零花錢，但是，叔舅嬸姨也是孩?們額外收?來源。

語?點1:句?結構分析:of cour在此作插?語，起強調作?。But連接兩個并列的句?，是轉折關系。

語?點2:本句中的of cour不僅是插?語，最重要的是還起到強調作?。

some children, small sums go a long way.

對于有些孩?來說，少量的錢可以花很長?段時間。

語?點1:句?結構分析:with some children作伴隨狀語。

語?點2:with some children相當于for some children,with在此作“對于”講。

語?點3:small sums為省略的說法，補充完整應為small sums of money.

語?點4:go along way本意為“?很長的?段路”，在此引申為last a long time（持續很長時間）。

但是能把儲蓄罐裝滿的只有屈指可數的?個特別節儉的孩?。

語?點1:句?結構分析:請注意only?詞在此句中的巧妙?法:放在句?，與very thrifty?起修飾children,表?強調。

語?點2:manage to fill up在此不勝旨在簡單地表達“設法去塞滿”，?是更加突出強調“可以成功地塞滿”。
