感覺不到人味
把核心的「人被抽掉」用在人與空間上:對象還在,就是沒有一個在乎你的人透出來。
cold, distant (manner) · adjective · C1
Not showing feelings of kindness, care, or friendliness, so you seem cold or distant from other people.
冷淡
One way to picture it: the person has been taken out. Whatever is left still works — it answers, it processes, it stands there — but there is no particular human showing through it.
From Latin impersōnālis: im- (not) + persōnālis (personal, of a person) — literally 'not of a person'.
這個詞從法文 impersonnel 進來,源頭是拉丁文 impersōnālis:im-(不)+ persōnālis(屬於人的)。字面就是「不屬於某個人的」,所以三個現代用法其實都在同一條線上——差別只在被抽掉的「人」是誰:說話者的溫度、一個空間裡的人味,還是句子裡的主語。

文法上的無人稱
文法家借的是同一個「沒有人」的意思:這種句子的主語不指向任何真實的人或物,只是語法上必須有東西站在那裡。
impersonal (grammar) · adjective · C1
