单词 | 未占用 |
释义 | 〔vacant〕Not occupied or put to use:未占用的,未被使用的:〔empty〕In Old EnglishIc eom ǣmtig 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 ofǣmtig from the Old English word ǣmetta, "leisure, rest.” The wordǣmetta may in turn go back to the Germanic root mōt-, meaning "ability, leisure.”In any case, Old Englishǣmtig also meant "vacant,” a sense that was destined to take over the meaning of the word. Empty, the Modern English descendant of Old Englishǣmtig, 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æmtig , 派生自古英语词 æmetta ,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æmtig 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 |
