Great Changes in Family Life
Great changes have been made in family life because of science ['saɪəns]科学 and industry ['ɪndəstrɪ] 工业.In the past,when more Americans lived on farms,the typical family had many children.In a farm family,parents and their children often lived with grandparents.Often,too,uncles and aunts [ænt] lived nearby.But when industry became more important than agriculture ['ægrɪ,kʌltʃɚ] 农业 in American life,families became smaller because industry requires[rɪ'kwaɪr] 需要 workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary.And large families cannot be moved from place to place as smaller families can.So,at present people tend to have smaller families.In the future,because of industrialization[ɪn,dʌstrɪələ'zeʃən] 工业化,a typical family will be required to move even more often than now,so families will be even smaller.The typical family may remain [rɪ'men]余留 childless ['tʃaɪldlɪs] 无子女的 and consists [kən'sɪst] 组成 only of a man and a woman.A small number of families may take child raising as their chief [tʃif] 首领 work.At the same time,they may also raise other people's children,leaving those families free to move from job to job.

由于科技的发展,家庭生活发生了巨大变化.从前,当更多的美国家庭生活在农场的时候,典型家庭的孩子都很多.在农场主家里,家长和孩子常常与祖父母住在一起.往往孩子的叔叔和姑姑也住在附近.但当工业在美国人的生活中变得比农业重要的时候, 家庭变小了,因为工业需要随时随地,如果有必要的话,可以多次搬迁的工人.人口众多的家庭就不能像小家庭那样反复搬家.因此,目前人们倾向于小一些的家庭. 在未来,由于工业化,典型的家庭会比现在的家庭搬家次数还要多.那时,家庭会更小.典型的家庭也许不要孩子,只有一个男人和一个女人（在从前可以翻译成只有丈夫和妻子,但现在同居流行了）只有少数家庭可能觉得养孩子是他们的首要工作.同时,他们很可能收养别人的孩子,让孩子的父母可以无牵无挂地搬家,更换工作.
