Nil means zero, or nothing at all. In everyday British and Irish English it's mostly used for sports scores — 'two nil' means the score is 2 to 0. Outside of sports it can also mean 'nothing', in a more formal or old-fashioned way, like 'the risk is nil'.
零（尤指比賽比分）
組成From the Latin word nihil, meaning nothing, shortened over time.
