参考翻译：
随着“顶级群落”、“生态群落”、“超级有机体”和其他表示在特定地点内动物和植物之间联系的专业术语受到抨击，“生态系统”越来越被（人们）广泛接受，（用来表示）由相关生物体组成的整个系统以及它们所处环境的自然因素。
知识点小结：
1. “with"引导的复合结构“with sth. being criticized"在本句中作伴随状语。此处的“sth."指的是“‘climax’，‘biome’，‘superorganism’，and various other technical terms”；“for the association of animals and plants at a given locality”前面提到的所有“technical terms”的内容：这些术语是代表在特定地点内的动物和植物之间的联系。
2. “association”的意思是“connection or relationship between people or organizations”（联系；关联）。“given”意思是“指定的；特定的”（相当于particular）。
3. 词组“together with”的意思是“including; in addition to/as well as”（包括……在内；同……一起/连同）。通过该词组可知“ecosystem”的内容不仅仅包括“the whole system of associated organisms”（相关的有机体），也包括“the physical factors of their environment”（它们所在环境的自然因素；这一点与之前被批判的术语有所不同）。弄清楚这一点对做对该句相关的句子简化题很关键。
4. 最后的“their”指代前面的“organisms”。

汉英翻译练习：
有足够的钱可以支配，富有的人可以不用像其他人那样辛苦工作，但是他们中的很多人却并不开心。（采用“with引导伴随状语”这种结构）
参考翻译：
With enough money at their disposal, rich people don't have to toil like the other people, yet most of them are rarely happy.
请将以上句子扩充后的中文段落翻译成英文：
①Dominique Bouhours曾经有这样一句名言：“Money is a good servant, but a poor master.”②但我并不全赞同这句话。③事实上，即便有足够的钱可以支配，富有的人可以不用像其他人那样辛苦工作，但是他们中的很多人却并不开心。④这其中的原因在于，工作除了给人带来金钱，还能带来生活的多样性，带来社会化所必需的社会接触，带来重要的个人认同。
大家想一想，该翻译练习是不是可以用到下面的托福写作中呢？
写作题目：

People who do not work because they have enough money are rarely happy.
