Chinatowns

More than a dozen other European-style caf é s, restaurants and red wine merchants thrive in this village of 20000 that has a long tradition of exporting labourers and semi-skilled workers to the factories of Italy and the slums and Chinatowns of Paris or Madrid.

镇上还有其他十几家生意火爆的欧式咖啡馆、餐厅和红酒坊。这个拥有两万人口的小镇有着向意大利工厂、向巴黎或马德里贫民窟和唐人街输送劳动力和半熟练工人的悠久传统。

But Mr Chen is voicing a fear, felt in Chinatowns from London to San Francisco, that the struggle to keep up with rising rents and other challenges will prompt these vibrant communities to disappear.

但郑健强担忧，由于很难应对不断上涨的房租和其他挑战，这些充满活力的社区将会消失。从伦敦唐人街到旧金山唐人街，这样的担忧普遍存在。

Andrew Leong, one of the authors of the study, said that as cities lose their Chinatowns, they also lose important services and businesses – such as English schools and job centres – that help new immigrants to integrate.

研究报告的作者之一Andrew Leong表示，随着唐人街在一座座城市中逐渐消失，一些帮助新移民融入社会的重要服务和生意也在走向消亡，比如英语学校和就业指导中心。
