    problematic adj.

    释义:involving problems and difficult to deal with

    Problematic 的字面意思是“有问题的”,不过常常可以在不同场景中灵活翻译,比如“困难重重” “难以处理”,是一个我们熟悉但是想不起来用的小词。

    例① 在北京开车很容易出现各种各样的问题,比如交通堵塞、停车等,我们这时就可以用 problematic 来吐槽:

    Driving in Beijing can be quite problematic.

    例② 对许多学习者来说,最大的语言问题是词汇量不足。

    Acquiring an adequate vocabulary has been highly problematic for most learners.

    某个问题依然存在,我们除了用“remain a problem”外,还可以用 remain problematic。

    例③ 共享出行依然有许多问题。

    Ride-sharing services remain problematic.

    例④《经济学人》中也会经常出现 problematic,比如在提到中国的人口政策时,它说:

    A population-planning document released last year acknowledged that the low birth rate was problematic.

    例⑤ 在提到美国对科技公司的监管时也用到了 problematic:

    For firms with free products, such as Facebook and Google, such regulation could prove problematic.

    1. 翻译:对中国学生来说,英语中的双元音(diphthong)很难掌握。

    English diphthongs are quite problematic for Chinese students.

    (参考翻译:English diphthongs are particularly problematic for Chinese students to master.)

    2.造句练习:

    场景: 中国的教育体系依然存在很多问题。

    造句: China's education system remains problematic.
