A deprived person or place does not have the basic things that make life comfortable or happy — enough money, decent schools, safe streets, enough food. Government and news people use it a lot: “a deprived area.” It often sounds a little kinder than just saying “poor,” though actually it still points at the same hard life. People also joke “I am deprived of chocolate,” but that is play. The serious use is about a whole way of living that is missing what it needs.
貧困的、匱乏的（常形容地區或生活條件，不只是「一時沒有」）
