譯文
他們可以隨時(shí)聯(lián)系到孩子,這對(duì)緩解父母的擔(dān)憂大有幫助,并有助于他們早日放松對(duì)孩子的監(jiān)控。
點(diǎn)睛
本句是個(gè)簡單句,主語是Being able to check in with a child anytime。goes a long way和may help是兩個(gè)并列的謂語。介詞短語toward relieving parental anxiety作a long way的賓語補(bǔ)足語。
check in本義指“登記;報(bào)到”,在句中意為“聯(lián)系”。
go a long way意為“大有幫助”。如:
One thousand dollars can go a long way to her. 1000美元可以解決她不少的問題。
relieve意為“緩解,減輕”。如:
Sometimes a funny joke may relieve you of a whole day's fatigue. 有時(shí)一則好玩的笑話可以幫你消除一天的疲勞。
loosen意為“放松,解開”。如:
I ate too much; I must loosen my belt. 我吃太多了,得把腰帶解松。
考點(diǎn)歸納
check作動(dòng)詞時(shí),相關(guān)的短語還有:

check out意為“付賬離開旅館;檢查,核對(duì)”。如:
It took us more than an hour to check out. 退房花了我們一個(gè)多小時(shí)。
