“空地方”、“空房间”、“空座”、“空余的”等等,英语怎么说?

1. available: if something is available , you can get it, buy it, or use it

例:

There's no room for more books - we've used up all the available space. (已经放不下多余的书了,能放的地方我们都放了。)

This program will take up a lot of your available disk space. (这个程序会占用很多磁盘空间。)

have something available

Do you have a room available for this weekend? (这周末酒店有空房间吗?)

readily/freely available (=very easy to get)

Drugs like heroin are readily available on the streets. (海洛因之类的毒品在街上就可以很容易买到。)

 

2. vacant: a building, home, room, or office that is vacant is available because it is not owned or rented by anyone

例:

There don't seem to be any vacant rooms in the whole of London! (好像整个伦敦的酒店都被住满了!)

If you're looking for somewhere to rent, I think there's a vacant apartment in my building. (如果你在找房子,我住的那幢楼倒是有个公寓要出租。)

3. free: a room or seat that is free is not being used by anyone now, and no one has asked for it to be kept for them to use later

备注:In everyday English, people usually say that a seat or room is ''free'' rather than ''vacant''(日常用语中,''free''''vacant''更常用。)

例:

Is this chair free? (这位子有人坐吗?)

The only free seats on the train were in a smoking compartment. (这列车上只有非无烟车厢还有座位了。)

The office next door is free if you need somewhere to work. (隔壁的办公室空着没人用,如果你要用可以去用。)

There's just one free table, over there in the corner. (只有一张桌子了,在那边角落。)

have something free

The hotel never has any rooms free over the Christmas period. (圣诞期间,酒店从来没空房。)

 

4. empty: something such as a room or seat that is empty has no one using it at the moment and is therefore available for someone else to use

例:

They have three empty rooms now that the kids have moved out. (孩子们搬出去后,他们家就有了三个空房间。)

I think there's an empty seat in the back row. (我想最后一排有个空座。)

The house was empty for two months before it was sold. (在有人买下之前,这房子已经空了两个月了。)

I spotted an empty table in the corner. (我看见角落那儿有一张空桌。)

He put his feet on an empty chair. (他把脚架在一张没人坐的椅子上。)

 

5. spare: something that is spare is not being used now, but it can be used if someone needs it

例:

I need 50 cents for the parking meter - do you have any spare change? (我要50美分用来停车,你有多的零钱吗?)

We're using the spare bedroom as a storage space. (我们把多出来的那个卧室当成储藏室来用。)

a spare tire(备胎)

 

补充:“这个位子有人坐了”、“这个房间有人住了”英语怎么说?

taken: if something such as a seat, room, or place is taken , someone has already arranged to use it and it is not available for other people to use

例:

I'm sorry - that seat is taken. (抱歉,这里已经有人了。)
