【句子分析】本句话看似复杂，但是结构却很简单清晰，主要出现了多个谓语的并列。句子主干为Young people were more likely to prioritize……, to believe……, to favor……, to agree……, and to maintain……。Young people之后的who引导定语从句，修饰限定年轻人。Than older adults为比较状语，引出年轻人和老一辈人的比较，即和老人比起来，年轻人更容易优先考虑，推动，喜欢，赞同和认为……。在agree和maintain之后都跟着that引导的宾语从句。
【参考译文】调查发现：和稍年长的成年人比起来，仍处于人生起步阶段的年轻人更可能在工作中优先考虑个人成就感，他们觉得频繁地更换工作最能推动职业发展，他们更习惯公共服务更多、生活节奏更快的社区，他们赞同夫妻在结婚生子之前应该有经济保障，并认为孩子最好是由均在外工作的双亲来抚养。
