中式英語之鑑:生活問題

343. 如果不解決這些人的生活問題，社會就無法安定。

[誤] There will be no social stability unless these peopl's living problems have been solved.

[正] There will be no social stability unless these people's daily needs have been met/satisfied.

注：living problems 會讓人誤以爲是“住房問題”，譯成problems of livelihood 又太抽象了。其實這裏的“解決生活問題”就是滿足日常生活的需要，而英語中的 meet/satisfy the daily needs 正是這個意思的地道說法。
