請(qǐng)將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

“剩女(leftover women)”這個(gè)詞被用來指那些在二十八九歲，甚至更大年齡仍未結(jié)婚的女性。有些人認(rèn)為“剩女”是需要認(rèn)真對(duì)待的社會(huì)力量,而另一些人則主張這個(gè)詞應(yīng)被視為褒義詞，意思是“成功女性”。據(jù)2010年的中國(guó)婚姻調(diào)查 (Chinese National Marriage Survey)報(bào)道，90%的男人認(rèn)為女人應(yīng)該在27歲之前結(jié)婚。在中國(guó)，大部分“剩女”都是受過良好教育的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)。跟以前幾代人相比，如今的女性更加自由，更能夠獨(dú)立生活。
