98. 在自然災害期間，絕大多數人都過著半饑半飽的生活。
[誤] During the natural calamity, most people were half hungry, half full.
[正] During the natural calamity, most people were underfed.
注：under- 是一個英語前綴，表示“......不足的”，如：underdeveloped（經濟發展不充分的），underage（未
到法定年齡的）等。所以，underfeed 表示“未喂飽的，食物不足的”。漢語中“半......半......”的結構可以翻譯成 half...half...，例如：As for this matter, I am half-believing, half-doubting（對于這件事我是半信半疑的）；This composition is half literary, half vernacular（這篇文章寫得半文不白的）。
