美国习俗面面观 每周的零用钱


现在流行的每周零用钱(the weekly allowance)或零用钱(pin money)是父母给孩子们用于娱乐(看电影等)，或回报孩子们所做家务(扫地、剪草坪、或仍垃圾等)的一笔固定的钱。这些零用钱通常被用来作为孩子们早期学习理财的模型。

The modern weekly allowance or “pin money” is a set sum of money that parents give to their children either for entertainment expenses(movies, etc.)or in return for the completion of domestic chores(sweeping, cutting the lawn, taking out the garbage, etc.)This allowance often serves as an early model of money management.
