<辨>problem和question都有“问题”的意思，但用法却不尽相同：I．problem指说话者认为难以解决的问题，它与动词 solve或settle（解决）搭配。而 question指说话者需要寻找答案的问题，它常与动词ask或answer 连用。试比较：

①The problem is difficult to be solved．这个问题很难解决。

②May I ask you some questions？我可以问你一些问题吗？

II．problem可用于数学或物理的习题，而question却无此义。question可表示一件“与……有关的事”。试比较：

①Can you work out this maths problem ？你能算出这道数学题吗？

②It's a question of money ／ time．这是一个与金钱／时间有关的问题。III．指需要讨论或解决的问题时，problem与question可以互换。

We are going to talk about several problems（questions）at the meeting ．我们在会上要谈到一些问题。

The problem now is a lot of question to ask.
