problem definition

基本解释

The next step that I usually take when starting a problem definition is to create a glossary.
儅開始問題定義時，我通常是做下一步，建立一個詞滙表。
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.
我想知道的是我對這個問題的解釋是否正確，以及找到一款可用的設備真的如我麪對的這麽睏難。
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.
我們有問題的定義，那就是食物的成本不是消費者每周消耗的；同時我們有商業制度；浪費金錢在存貨清單上。

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?
這是一個遞歸的定義，你怎麽知道你的父母,至少其中一個是滿足天生的美國公民,這個定義的呢？,我已經把我是一個天生的美國公民這個問題？

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.
