趨勢 (Trend)

一項調查發現，香港僱員今年的加薪幅度是2002年以來最高的，而且趨勢大概持續。Hong Kong workers this year received the highest salary increase since 2002 and the trend will probably continue, a survey has found。對於銀行減息，金融管理局總裁任志剛說，減息只是由於市場流動資金水平高企所致，影響是短暫的，不會成為趨勢。Hong Kong banks' cutting rates is only a result of the short-term effect brought on by a high level of liquidity in the market. It will not become a trend。Trend 是「趨勢」的意思。它是名詞，其他例子：There is a trend towards equal opportunities for men and women 是「有一股男女機會平等的發展趨勢」，The trend of modern opinion is away from corporal punishment 是「現代人的意見趨勢是不贊成體罰」，Young women are always interested in the trends of fashion 是「年輕女士總是對時裝的趨勢很感興趣」。
