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“裡面沒有東西”、“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.
    這隻箱子空空如也
  • we found the room empty.
    我們發現房間裡空無一物。
  • at midnight even the busiest street is empty.
    午夜時分,甚至最繁忙的大道上也不見人影。

vacant: 意思是“閒著的”、“無人占據的”,著重指臨時性的情況,如:vacant seat、vacant apartment、vacant position等。
  • we have no vacant position here.
    我們這裡沒有空職。
  • 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”,用於後者場合是比喻意義。
  • this is a hollow tree.
