emerging trend/ 新兴趋势/ (xīnxīnɡ qūshì)

A: There was a report that said prostitution is becoming an "emerging trend" among students in US and European countries, what are your thoughts? 

你怎么看待有报道称,在欧美国家学生群体间提供性服务的现象成为一种"新兴趋势"？

(nǐ zěnme kàndài yǒu bàodào chēnɡ, zài ōuměi ɡuójiā xuéshēnɡ qúntǐ jiān tíɡònɡ xìnɡ fúwù de xiànxiànɡ chénɡwéi yīzhǒnɡ "xīnxīnɡ qūshì"？?)

B: I think there are some complicated factors behind this issue. Schools should unite together to face this issue and investigate the reasons that have produced this phenomenon.  

我觉得这个问题背后有一些复杂的根源,学校应该联合起来调查这个现象。

(wǒ juédé zhèɡè wèntí bèihòu yǒu yīxiē fùzá de ɡēnyuán, xuéxiào yīnɡɡāi liánhé qǐlái diàochá zhèɡè xiànxiànɡ.)

A: I heard that a lot of students are turning to prostitution to put themselves through school. A school in England has already started giving these students safety classes.  

据说很多学生是为了通过性工作来供自己上学。英国有一所学校已经开始为此类学生提供相关安全培训。

B: As I see it, this shows that schools are respecting the diversity of students and carrying out their educational responsibilities. 

在我看来,这是学校尊重学生多样性和履行其教育引导职责的表现。

(zài wǒ kànlái, zhèshì xuéxiào zūnzhònɡ xuéshēnɡ duōyànɡxìnɡ hé lǚxínɡ qí jiàoyù yǐndǎo zhízé de biǎoxiàn.)
