in old engl**hic eom æg could mean“i am empty,”“i am unoccupied,”or“i am unmarried.”the sense“unoccupied,at le**ure,”which did not survive old points to the derivation ofæg from the old word æ,“le**ure,rest.”the wordæa may in turn go back to the germanic root m½,meaning“ability,le**ure.”in any case,old engl**hæg also meant“vacant,”a sense that was destined to take over the meaning of the word.empty,the modern descendant of old engl**hæ,has come to h**e the sense“idle,”so that one can speak of empty le**ure.
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”。锤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 这个古英语锤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

empty
来自古英语æmtig 未占的；闲暇的
empty,vain,hollow这三个形容词都含有“空的”含义。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)prom**es
空洞的许诺
empty(or hollow)talk
空谈
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 ** 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.
后来，他不知不觉来到了一个空荡的山谷。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 buddh**t,every worldly affair ...
