上海正考虑设立老旧住宅维修基金来改善失修建筑的安全维护。请看本报昨日的报道：

Shanghai, the largest Chinese city by population, is planning to establish a renovation fund for old homes that will cover the cost of inspections, renovations and insurance to ensure the safety and upkeep of buildings that have fallen into disrepair.

报道中的disrepair就是“失修”。例如：

While some outdoor dining sheds are well-maintained, others quickly fell into disrepair, marred with graffiti and trash.

有些户外排挡维护得很好，但有些很快就失修，到处都是涂鸦和垃圾。
