1．(学会断句)The value/taught with the Spending jar/is/that you are responsible for your own happiness．

[分析]　本句是主从复合句。过去分词短语taught with the Spending jar作(后置)定语，修饰the value; that引导表语从句。

[翻译]　“消费”罐子传递的价值是，你要为自己的幸福负责。

2．(学会断句)Whether you want to help out a friend，give money to an animal

charity/or to children in another country，it's your money/to give to/whatever cause you believe in．

[分析]　本句是主从复合句。Whether．．．country是“whether．．．or．．．”引导的让步状语从句；whatever cause　you believe in为宾语从句。

[翻译]　无论你是想要接济朋友，为动物慈善机构捐款，或是救助另一个国家的孩子，这都是你的钱，你可以把它捐给任何你相信的事业。

3．(学会断句)The wider aim of the jars/is/to encourage teenagers to think more objectively about money and the things/that it can do，so that they grow up understanding，if you like，the value of the valuable．

[分析]　本句是主从复合句。The wider aim of the jars is．．．the things that it can do是主句，其中that it can do是定语从句；so that引导目的状语从句，if you like作插入语。

[翻译]　介绍这四个罐子，更深远的目的在于鼓励青少年以一种更客观的方式思考金钱以及用钱能做的事情，让他们在成长的过程中逐渐理解重要事物的真正价值。

4．(学会断句)In this way，they will be better equipped/in their adult lives/to make informed choices about/how they use the money/they have．

[分析]　本句是主从复合句。 they will be better equipped in their adult lives是主句；to make informed choices about how they use the money 是不定式短语作状语，其中 how they use the money是宾语从句，作介词about的宾语；they have是(限制性)定语从句，修饰先行词the money。

[翻译]　这样，他们在步入成人社会时才会更加得心应手，并且能够对如何管理金钱做出明智的选择。
