【 参考译文 】
在有些社会，要孩子只是为了所谓的家族原因：传宗接代，延续香火，安慰祖辈，维系礼仪 。在现代世俗社会中，这类原因似显苍白，但在其他地方，这些原因确实强劲有力。
此外，有一类家族原因与下面一组原因共通，即生儿育女是为了维系或改善婚姻：能拴住丈夫或者让妻子有事可做；修复或重振婚姻；之所以多生孩子是因为他们认为多子多福。反过来说：在某些社会中，不生孩子（ 或不生男孩 ）不仅 是婚姻的一种威胁 ， 还成为离oklahoma

此外，更为重要的是，孩子对于家庭这一机构自身尤为重要。对许多人来说，夫妻两人还不算一个真正意义上的家庭——他们需要孩子来丰富两人小天地，使它具有家庭特征，并使他们自己从中获得 赎救 。
孩子需要家庭，家庭似乎也需要孩子。在一个变幻莫测、常常是充满敌意的世界中，家庭作为一种社会机构，以其特有的方式，至少在原则上，需要在孩子身上获得某种安全感、慰藉、保障和指望。对于多数人来说，这种原本意义上的家的基地，需要不止一个人来维持，使其代代相传，生生不息。
