句子翻译问题

The main function of rules are responsible for children's beheviour from a young age.

请问老师，我这句话的翻译有语法问题吗？

The main function of rules are responsible for children's beheviour from a young age.

网友这个句子，有两个错误：

1. 主谓一致错误：句子主语是function，而不是 rules，故谓语动词用单数 is。用are 为错误。

2. 逻辑概念错误：“作用为儿童的行为负责”—— “作用” 怎么能为某事负责呢？网友的句子，错误在于：把“确认性表语” 误用为“归属性表语”。本句而言，使用“归属性表语” 为错句。

修改如下：

The main function of rules （主语）is （系动词）to be responsible for the behavior of children from a young age.（动词不定式作表语）.

确认性表语，主表可以颠倒过来说：

The main function of rules is to be responsible for the behavior of children from a young age. 等于：

To be responsible for the behavior of children from a young age is the main function of rules.

【注】这种逻辑错误，非常隐蔽。不仔细分析，很难觉察出来。

你是汉译英吧。你应该给出汉语原文。

关键有function 或rules对接 responsible for children's beheviour这种说法吗？？

句子只是由语法构成的么？整个句子，感觉不知所云

to be responsible for the behavior

给我的意思是，比如你家小孩掀了我家房瓦，他要为这行为负责。

-----------------------------------

我先猜你这几个意思吧：

The rules/strategies for regulating/changing (your) children's behavior .

...

The main function of [the] rules is [are] aimed at disciplining the children from an early age.

(这样的句子，你要确保知道这个 rules 是究竟指条文还是指方法)

...

一定要用function的wordy版本，比如：

The main function of these rules is (that) it provides parents with advice on how to discipline their children from an early age.
