Re: [Ask ] What's the difference of "question" …
※ 引述《dreamcity (飛行在宇宙中的航海者號)》之銘言：
: Hello,everyone.
: I've a question needs some profressional answer,
: that's the difference between "question" and "problem".
: Usually people will say "I've a question" instead of "I've a problem"
: when they try to get an answer of something they don't understand.
: However, in the disctinary, "question" and "problem" are synonyms,
: at least in their meanings of Chinese.
: So, what's the difference of these two words?
: And how it came to this kind of difference.
: Thanks.
Generally, a question is neutral, but a problem is troublesome.
A question can be easy, hard, rhetorical, etc. It does not necessarily
imply that the person asking is troubled by the question. For examples,
I often say to my friends: "let me ask you a question-- " but the questions
I asked are usually just for conversational purposes and nothing complicated.
On the other hand, a problem is more similar to trouble. Another related
word "problematic" is used when something is causing problem. I guess
you may say that the main difference between a question and a problem
is that a problem is usually causing negative effect, or at least difficulty
for the person to make a decision. For instance, "I got some car problem",
"I am stuck in a problem", "this person has some serious problem" are
common sentences invovled with the word "problem", most of which imply
that the problem is not welcomed.
In short, you may think that a question is just something without a
definite answer, but a problem is usually troublesome or "problematic."
