同近义词辨析

free, vacant, empty

free 空的，指清除了或缺少了某物，与of 或from连用。如：She is free from anxiety.(她无忧无虑。)She is free of him.(她摆脱了他。)

vacant 空闲的，指地方没有被占用。如：One day, man can make full use of vacant space.(将来，人们会充分利用浩瀚的天空。)empty，vacant和相同的名词连用时，含义不同。如an empty house指房子里既无家具也无人，空荡荡的。而a vacant house指房子没有被人占用，里面可有家具，也可无家具。

empty 空的，指里面什么东西都没有。如：The case is empty.(这是个空箱子。)

open, blank, vacant, hollow, empty

这组词都有“空的”的意思，其区别是：

open指未被占有，从而可被别人得到的。

blank指上面没有写字、印刷或做记号的空白表面，或指上面留着准备被填写的空白处。

vacant普通用词，侧重某物或某个位置没有被占用。

hollow指物体中间是空的。

empty指空无一人或一物，或空洞无意义的。
