主流

(zhǔliú) 

A: Look,the news said that this year the number of single-member households in South Korea has surpassed the number of households of married couples with children and that by 2028 single-member households will be the mainstream in South Korean society.  

看, 新闻上说今年韩国的单人的家庭数量已经超过已婚有子女的家庭了, 2028年单人的家庭将成为韩国社会的主流。

B:  The number of singles in South Korea is really high. I don't think I can believe in those sweet romance stories in South Korean dramas anymore.  

韩国的单身率真高啊。我再也不相信韩剧里那么多甜甜蜜蜜的恋爱故事了。

A:  Don't be so pessimistic. Although this is a major trend, you can still get to know new people. You are sure to find that person suitable for you. 

别那么悲观嘛。虽然这是大趋势,但你还是要去认识新的人, 会遇到适合你的人的。
