　　請看例句：

　　As the end of the summer holiday approaches, Chinese elementary and junior high school students increasingly find themselves bogged down with too many school assignments. However, emerging illegal ghostwriting services offered on different online platforms seem like a great "help" to them.

　　隨著暑假接近尾聲，我國中小學生越來越覺得自己深陷在堆積如山的學校作業(yè)中。然而，各大網絡平臺提供的新興非法代寫服務對他們來說似乎"大有幫助"。

　　近年來，我國教育相關部門響應國家"減負(burden alleviation)"號召，努力減少學生的家庭作業(yè)(try to cut back on homework for students)，但越來越多的家長卻往往利用假期等課余時間安排孩子上課外輔導班(parents tend to arrange their children's spare time, including vacations, for extracurricular classes)。學生顯然無法負荷學校和補習班兩方面的作業(yè)(cannot bear the homework form by both the school and the cram school)，于是為不法寫手和商販提供了商機(business opportunity)。

　　有報道稱，代寫行業(yè)的服務鏈(the chain of the ghostwriting industry)是"聯(lián)系客服(contact customer service)——告知要求(tell the requirements)——確定價格(set the price)——郵寄作業(yè)(mail the notebook)——支付議價(pay the agreed fee)——收到成品(get the returned manuscript)"。國內最大電商平臺(e-commerce platform)淘寶網上有不少提供代寫服務的網店。微博等社交媒體平臺上也能看到代寫廣告。據報道，大學生是代寫主力軍(the main force of the ghostwriters)。他們暑期時間充裕，加上渴望掙零花錢(desire to earn pocket money)，所以樂于"幫忙"。
