According to a dictionary, tend to ~ is translated into the following words:



  • 倾向

  • 易於

  • 走向

  • 有～的倾向

But I think all of them are not used as often while reading, and thus is very awkward if I use them in writing. So there should be other expressions that mean tend to ~ in Chinese, for example in the following examples:




The developed countries tend to have less children.



Women tend to take jobs related to education, childcare, and health.




But in these cases, I think the words above are a bit awkward; I have never seen 易於 or 走向 are used while reading. So what words or expressions should I use to express tend to ~ in Chinese?

            Both 倾向于 and 偏向于 can be used for 'tend to'



            • 倾向于 (lend toward/ tend to) - consciously/ subconsciously choose to


            • 偏向于 (bias toward/ tend to) - consciously / subconsciously choose to


            Both 倾向 and 偏向 can be noun (tendency) or verb (lend toward/ bias toward)



            易於 = easily



            有～的倾向 = have the tendency of ~

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
