“问题question,problem,issue”的区别及用法:
- question指向某人寻求答案,弄清真相的“问题”,通常有疑问的意味。
e.g.:The question is ,how much are they going to pay you ?问题是他们打算付给我多少钱?
Do you have any questions?你还有什么问题吗?(意思是你还有不理解的地方吗?)
- problem指棘手的“问题”“棘手的难题”,指难以相处,难以解决,难以克服的人,事情等;或者说待解决的一种不尽如人意的状况。
e.g.:Let me know if you have any problems .你若有困难就告诉我。
They discussed the problem of bullying in schools.他们讨论了校园霸凌的问题。We have a problem with our car.我们的车出了点问题。(意思是车子出故障了。)
You can also say that someone has problems doing something.你还可以用“someone has problems doing something.”说某人在某事上遇到了问题。Many people are having problems paying their rent.许多人在付房租上遇到了问题。
注意!不可以说"someone has problems to do something",一定不可以说“Many people are having problems to pay their rent.” 一定不可以哦!
解释一种情形为什么发生时,“problem”不可以与why连用。不可以说“The problem why he couldn't come is that he is ill.” 而是“The reason why he couldn't come is that he is ill.”
- issue一般指社会,政治,经济等方面的重大问题,或者指有争议的问题、议题,通常用复数形式issues.
e.g.:
Unfortunately, the launch has had to be delayed in the Czech Republic by a month ,and speculation is this is because of the supply chain issues in Japan . 不幸的是,在捷克共和国的发行要推迟一个月。有猜测称这可能是因为日本供应链出了问题。
