A matter is often sth practical that needs to be dealt with: people typically talk about, look at, discuss, debate, refer, pursue, deal with, handle, investigate, resolve or settle a matter. A question may also be practical, but is often sth more philosophical that is interesting to think about without actually coming to any conclusions: people typically think about, focus on, raise, address or ponder a question. However, all these collocates can be used with either word.在许多情况下这两个词可以通用。matter常指须处理的实际问题,通常与talk about、look at、discuss、debate、refer、pursue、deal with、handle、investigate、resolve或settle搭配。question也可指实际问题,但较常指哲学性问题,思考起来颇有意趣,实际上得不出任何结论,通常与think about、focus on、raise、address或ponder搭配。不过,所有这些词均可与这两个词搭配使用。■concern [countable] something that is important to a person, an organization or society(对某人、组织或社会)重要的事情◆What are your main concerns as a writer?身为作家,你主要关注的是哪些问题?◆The overriding concern of the organizers is the safety of the participants.组织者首要关注的是参与者的安全问题。◆Environmental concerns have been thrust to the head of the party agenda.该党已将环境问题推为头等大事。 see also consideration ⇨ factor■item [countable] one thing on a list of things to buy, do or talk about事项;项目◆What's the next item on the agenda?下一项议程是什么?◆Check the list carefully, item by item.逐项仔细核对一下清单。
