帮忙翻译一下下面的句子,有几个问题问问哈
1：older people of a culture 有文化的老人?感觉有点奇怪
2: 为什么用by Americans而不是to,还有of today这什么用法啊?
They are little lessons which older people of a culture pass down to the younger people to teach them about life.
but his proverb “Time is money” is taken more seriously by Americans of today than ever before

Answer 1

older people of a culture指的是一种文化下比较年长的那些人,你也可以理解为是一个民族的那些年长的人,by是和take搭配的,of today就是今天的、现在的、当今的,也就是说,当代的美国人比以往任何时候的美国人都更信奉时间就是金钱.
