中国的家庭观念与其文化传统有关。和睦的大家庭曾非常令人羡慕。过去四代同堂并不少见。由于这个传统，许多年轻人婚后继续与父母同住。今天，这个传统正在改变。随着住房条件的改善，越来越多年轻夫妇选择与父母分开住。但他们之间的联系依然很密切。许多老年人仍然帮着照看孙辈。年轻夫妇也抽时间探望父母，特别是在春节和中秋节等重要节日。

　　参考译文：

　　Family values in China are related to cultural traditions. Harmonious big families used to be very admirable for everyone, and it was not uncommon for four generations to live together in the past. Owing to this tradition, many young people continued to live with their parents after marriage. Today, this convention is changing. With the improvement of housing conditions, a growing number of young couples choose to live apart from their parents. However, they still remain in a close connection. A host of senior citizens still help to look after their grandchildren, and the young couples also visit their parents in their spare time, especially during important holidays such as the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.
