【逐句解析】

1. 中国家庭十分重视孩子的教育。

  谓语“重视”可用attach importance to表达，加强语气的“十分”则可通过在名词importance前加形容词great传达出来

2. 许多父母认为应该努力工作，确保孩子受到良好教育。

  句子后半部分为前半部分的目的状语，可用不定式表达。“确保”用ensure比make sure更正式一些。“受到”指“接受到”，可直接用动词receive; 也可用英语中经常出现的名词短语access to表达。

3. 他们不仅非常情愿为孩子的教育投资，而且花很多时间督促他们学习。

  “不仅…而且…”用not only …but also…句型，若not only在句首，则需用到倒装结构。“情愿”是be willing to, 在某方面投资是invest in …，督促某人做事用urge sb. to do sth.

4. 多数家长希望孩子能上名牌大学。

  “名牌大学”可用elite universities，也可用prestigious universities。“能上”可直接用主动语态表达：be able to go to; 或更符合英语习惯的被动语态表达：get admitted to，即“被大学录取”。

5. 由于改革开放， 越来越多的家长能送孩子到国外学习或参与国际交流项目，以拓宽其视野。

  “由于”可用多个短语表达：owing to, due to, thanks to。“改革开放”为固定表达：reform and opening-up。“越来越多”可用more and more, 也可用an increasing number of。副词abroad可直接放在动词后面，表示“去国外”或“在国外”。 “参与”可用短语take part in, 也可用动词participate 使表达更正式一些。“国际交流项目”的“项目”在此指学习计划安排，多用program；而project一词更强调具体课题研究项目。“拓宽视野”： broaden one's horizons，基本为固定表达。

6. 通过这些努力，他们期望孩子健康成长，为国家的发展和繁荣作出贡献。

  “健康成长”中的“健康”应视为形容词作主语补足语，而不是副词修饰谓语，因此译为grow up strong and healthy。“为…作出贡献” 是make a contribution to…，“国家”可用country,也可用nation； “发展和繁荣”为development and prosperity。

    Chinese families attach great importance to their children's education. Many parents hold that they should work hard to ensure their children's access to good education. Not only are they perfectly willing to invest in their children's education, but they also spend much time urging them to study. Most parents expect their children to get admitted to elite universities. Owing to China's reform and opening-up, an increasing number of parents can send their children to study abroad or participate in international exchange programs to broaden their horizons. Through these efforts, they expect their children grow up strong and healthy and contribute to the nation's development and prosperity.
