請教各位-->question and problem有什麼差別?

hmmm, this is a good question, how to solve this problem ?

Lily, looks like you have some problems with this question.....

Stupidbeauty, these two words are sometimes interchangable, and sometimes they are oceans apart. It largely depends on usage. Online dictionaries will give you some idea on how to use them correctly and appropriately.

The problem with this question is there is no question there is a problem.

· Both "question" and "problem" can apply to a group of words asking for information, needing an answer, including those in a test, often INTERCHANGEABLE, but "question" is more general, while "problem" refers to a question especially connected with numbers and facts.

· Both "question" and "problem" can apply to a difficulty or matter to be settled, often INTERCHANGEABLE. "Question" is more general, while "problem" often refers specifically to a (serious) difficulty that needs attention and thought.

· The word "**question" alone can apply to doubt or uncertainty.

[QUESTION]
= a matter for discussion (討論的題目/問題)
= a problem requiring solution (需要解決的問題)
(e.g.) The question is now being discussed.
(e.g.) The discussion left the central question and ran into side issues.
(e.g.) The long outstanding questions have thus been successfully adjusted.
(e.g.) I asked you a question, but you didn't answer.
(e.g.) His first question was whether she was married.
(e.g.) There are 60 questions in the written test.
(e.g.) There was some **question about his qualification.
(e.g.) His honesty is beyond all **question.
(e.g.) The very existence of the rare species is in **question.
(e.g.) The urgent question/issue is whether to ban induced abortion.

[PROBLEM]
= a doubtful or difficult question
(e.g.) The problem is now being tackled in earnest.
(e.g.) I correctly worked out a problem in mathematics.
(e.g.) The selection of a school is an important problem.
(e.g.) simple problems in addition and subtraction
(e.g.) Perhaps time alone can solve the problem.
(e.g.) The unemployment problem is worsening.

(Note: 解數學題、物理題, 一般用"solve" the "problem"; 答英語題、歷史題, 一般用"answer" the "question"。)

HTH.

Thank you, futari,Apex,SoutheLily .

Hello S.Beauty

A belated humble opinion. Hope it is useful.

QUESTIONS are proceedings or processes that aim to augment knowledge, resolving doubt, or solving PROBLEMS. The theory is to obtain an account of the various types of queries and a treatment of each type of the query to achieve its aim.

It is also a methodology employed during the interview of a person, to obtain information that the source would not otherwise willingly disclose. A typical purpose is not necessarily to force a confession, but rather to develop, playing into the interviewee’s character, sufficient to prompt the interviewee to disclose information valuable to the person conducting the interview.

Interrogation (conduct by the police and lawyers), yet another line of questioning, will usually involve mental torture which in practice is widely acknowledged to be effective at producing true, accurate, correct and reliable information.

Having said these, however, not every QUESTION deserves an answer!


PROBLEMS are obstacles that make things difficult to achieve a desired goal, objective or purpose. A PROBLEM is referred to a situation, a condition, or an issue that is yet unresolved. In a broad sense, a PROBLEM exists when an individual becomes aware of a significant difference between what actually is and what is desired. Every PROBLEM requires an answer or a solution. More often than not, QUESTIONS are raised before a PROBLEM is resolved.
