中式英语之鉴:生活问题

[误] 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 会让人误以为是“住房问题”，译成problems of livelihood 又太抽象了。其实这里的“解决生活问题”就是满足日常生活的需要，而英语中的 meet/satisfy the daily needs 正是这个意思的地道说法。
