注释

In Old English Ic eom ?g 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 of ?g from the Old English word ?, “leisure, rest.” The word ?a may in turn go back to the Germanic root m?, meaning “ability, leisure.” In any case, Old English ?g also meant “vacant,” a sense that was destined to take over the meaning of the word. Empty, the Modern English descendant of Old English ?, has come to have the sense “idle,” so that one can speak of empty leisure.

在古英语里，Ic eom cemfig 可以表示“我饿”，“我现在失业”或“我没有结婚。” “未占用的，空闲的”这个意思没有在古英语中保留下来，这表明?mtig ， 派生自古英语词 ?metta ，意为“空闲，休息”。 鎚etta 可以追溯到日耳曼语词根 mot-， 意为“能力，空闲”。 无论如何，古英语?mtig 也表示“空的”， 这个意思是注定要取代这个词的意义。Empty 这个古英语鎚tig 在现代英语中的变形具有了“空闲的”的意思， 所以我们可以说空闲

参考词汇

(1)empty,vain,hollow这三个形容词都含有“空的”含义。

(2)empty 与hollow 的含义很近，很难辨别其细微差异，常常可以换用。

empty (or hollow) promises

空洞的许诺

empty (or hollow) talk

空谈

(3)但如果说这是个没人住的房子时，应说an empty house；而a hollow victory 的意思却是，虽然胜利了，却毫无价值、意义

That is an empty house.

那是一座空房子。

Let's stop the empty talk and do some useful and practical work.

咱们别空谈了，还是做些有益的实际工作吧。

Then he found himself in a hollow vally.

(4)vain 在表示“空虚的”这一概念时，其内涵是毫无价值、毫无意义。或者表示在绝对意义上毫无价值，而在相对意义上却有价值。换句话说，一般认为无价值、无意义的东西，却是某些人拼命追求的对象。佛教徒把人间的一切一概视为“四大皆空”。这个“空”字应用vain 来表示

In the eye of the Buddhist, every worldly affair is vain.

在佛教徒的眼里，人世上一切事情都是空的。

校长又一次请求增加学校实验设备，但又是一场空。
