but only by enough to provide them with a comfortable living
孩子会供养父母，但是只会保证基本生活（言下之意他们觉得父母钱更多了之后就不会再给了）

(e) does a splendid job of this. if the elderly's income is supplemented by their children - up to a FIXED amount ("a comfortable living") - then it makes absolutely no difference how much pension those elderly people are receiving, as long as the pension is less than "a comfortable living". in other words, their children are just going to pay the difference anyway.
comfortable living就是指一个固定的生活标准，也就是不管政府补助是多少，他们的孩子都会让他们的生活水平固定在某一水平，因此就是指政府补助对他们的生活并无影响。
