"这个问题使我们陷入不小的困难" equivalent to = "This question often gets us into trouble" Just a note. As a translator and language coach, it helps to be able to see how you want to use words in a sentence and sentences in a paragraph or a text. To get a more exact meaning you need to put your sentences in context. This sentence, just as it is, has a meaning {close to the translation I gave you} but a more exact meaning can usually be had if you gave me a paragraph in which you plan to use the sentence. Hope this helps.

Hi I recommend using an online Chinese-English dictionary, you can match only Chinese characters, Mandarin pinyin or English definitions, look up whole Chinese sentences, automatically splitting it into separate words etc. www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php
