问题描述：
People living in big modern cities are scarcely aware of the fact that there are still many people who are living in poor and filthy environments.这句话中的poor and filthy不可用poverty-stricken替换的原因是什么?
答
poverty-stricken
adj.为贫穷所困恼的,为贫穷所困扰的；非常贫穷的
poor and filthy 贫穷而肮脏的
根据词义,显然不能替换.
且environments 为抽象名词,并非具体的名词（比如cake,book）,使用poverty-stricken 不合适.
