Kids should do chores, he writes, “for the same reason adults do, because the chores need to be done, and not with the expectation of compensation.
5、”This argument has its critics, but considering the way are undertaken around the world may change peoples thinking.

15、析：1.裸婚:裸婚是一个新出现的词汇，本没有对应的固定说法，但并不适宜按照字面意思直译naked wedding,因为这样很容易使人联想到“裸体婚礼”。down-to-earth意为“现实的、直接的、朴素的”，更符合“裸婚”的内涵。2.领取结婚证:这个领取其实是指“申请领取”，故用apply for。3.最低成本只有:可直译为the lowest cost ofis only.,也可译为cost as little as.,后者更能突出“花得少”这一涵义。4.必须有:可以理解为“是的必备条件”，即sth. is a must for.5.大肆操办:可译为be held on a grand scale。6.见证:这里译为is a testament to, “见证”这个词的其他译法包括 evidence、proof 或者witness。3. 问答题：Forests in countries like Brazil and the Congo get a lot of attention from environmentalists, and it is easy to see why.
