空掉的空間與空掉的存在
這一支直接就是核心畫面:先是眼前的空,再往內變成存在上的空。
noun · C1
Empty space with nothing in it at all — no things, no sound, no edges — or the complete absence of everything.
虛空;空無
One way to hold this word: nothing, given a shape you can look into. Nothing on its own is a flat fact — there is no thing here. Add -ness and it becomes a state you can stand in front of: a space with no objects, no sound and no edge. Every use of nothingness is that same empty room, seen from a different doorway — the empty space itself, the state of not being at all, or the hollow inside something that looks full.
Built from the English word nothing plus the ending -ness, which turns a word into the name of a state.
這個字由 nothing 加上字尾 -ness 組成;-ness 的作用是把一個詞變成「那個狀態」的名字,所以 nothing 一加就成了「什麼都沒有的狀態」。
