英语翻译Their actual happiness seems to be motivated less by the

主语：happiness
谓语：seem
宾语：to be motivated by.结构
后为比较级,比较对象为to be motivated by这一被动的发出者“their ability to buy more”和“being able to keep up with those with comparable resources in their own age group”
整句大意为：他们的金钱,购买力貌似只较少的激发了他们真正的快乐,比起他们能够赶上那些和他们差不多年龄却有着较多资源的人来说.

Their actual happiness 主语
seems谓语
to be motivated 动词不定时做宾语
by their ability to buy more和 by being able to keep up with those with comparable resources in their own age group.并列 都是由于前面的to be motivated 是被动，对它的一个补充

主语：happiness
谓语：seem
宾语：to be motivated by....结构

译文：他们的真正的快乐更多的是来自与不落后于与他们同年人且具有类似资源的人，而不是他们的购买力。
