empty詞意辨析
empty, vacant, hollow
這一組詞都表示“空的”,但涵義有所不同。empty: 意思是“里面沒有東西”、“一無所有”,具有“空無一物”的隱含意義,它可以用來描繪box、vessel、cupboard、bag、purse、room、house、street、stomach、head 等詞。
- this trunk is empty of its contents.

我們發(fā)現(xiàn)房間里空無一物。 - at midnight even the busiest street is empty.

我們這里沒有空職。 - a vacant seat was found in this compartment.
在這個車廂里找到了一個空的座位。
hollow: 意思是“空心的”、“中空的”、“空洞的”、“下陷的”,它常與tree、ball、cheeks、voice、sound、words、promise等詞連用,由此可見,它既可用以指實物的“中空”,亦可指 words、promise、compliments的“虛假”,用于后者場合是比喻意義。
- this is a hollow tree.

參考詞匯><注釋>In Old EnglishIc eom ômtig could mean .I am empty,. .I am unoccupied,. or .I am unmarried.. The sense .unoccupied, at leisure,. which did not survive Old English,points to the derivation ofômtig from the Old English word ômetta, .leisure, rest.. The wordômetta may in turn go back to the Germanic root môt-, meaning .ability, leisure..In any case, Old Englishômtig also meant .vacant,. a sense that was destined to take over the meaning of the word. Empty, the Modern English descendant of Old Englishômtig, has come to have the sense .idle,. so that one can speak of empty leisure.在古英語里,Ic eom cemfig 可以表示.我餓.,.我現(xiàn)在失業(yè).或.我沒有結(jié)婚。. .未占用的,空閑的.這個意思沒有在古英語中保留下來,這表明ômtig , 派生自古英語詞 ômetta ,意為.空閑,休息.。 鎚etta 可以追溯到日耳曼語詞根 mot-, 意為.能力,空閑.。無論如何,古英語ômtig 也表示.空的., 這個意思是注定要取代這個詞的意義。 Empty 這個古英語鎚tig 在現(xiàn)代英語中的變形具有了.空閑的.的意思, 所以我們可以說空閑注釋>
