problem definition

基本解释

The next step that I usually take when starting a problem definition is to create a glossary.
当开始问题定义时，我通常是做下一步，建立一个词汇表。
What I would like to know is whether I've got the problem definition right and whether this is as big a deal to get a working dongle as it is appearing to me.
我想知道的是我对这个问题的解释是否正确，以及找到一款可用的设备真的如我面对的这么困难。
We have our problem definition, the defect being the cost of food not consumed by the customer that spoiled per week; and we have our business metric: wasted money on inventory.
我们有问题的定义，那就是食物的成本不是消费者每周消耗的；同时我们有商业制度；浪费金钱在存货清单上。

How do you know that your parents, at least one of your parents satisfies the definition? Well I've reduced the problem from am I a natural born US citizen to is one of my parents a natural born US citizen?
这是一个递归的定义，你怎么知道你的父母,至少其中一个是满足天生的美国公民,这个定义的呢？,我已经把我是一个天生的美国公民这个问题？

The problem with that definition, of course, is that not just anybody can measure it -- since most of us don't have an International Prototype Kilogram laying around, especially since every time the thing is picked up a few atoms rub off of it making it a little bit lighter.

But part of the problem with the definition - I mean, as an example - is that if you look at Mars - if Mars - if we discovered a Mars-sized object out beyond the orbit of Pluto, it couldn't be a planet, because over the age of the solar system it wouldn't have time to clear its orbit.
