喜樂美語

From the word’s history

From Middle English noysaunce, from Old French nuisance, from nuisir 'to harm', from Latin nocēre.

經古法文 nuisir「傷害」，源自拉丁文 nocēre。

Wiktionary

Something that keeps getting in your way — not dangerous, not a disaster, just a small thing that will not stop. A dripping tap, a fly in the room, a form you have to fill in again. The picture is of harm that is too small to fight but too repeated to ignore.

一件「不嚴重、但一直來煩你」的事。不是災難，不是危險——是水龍頭滴個不停、房間裡一隻飛來飛去的蒼蠅、明明填過又要再填一次的表格。它的傷害小到不值得動怒，卻密到讓人無法忽略；那種「唉，又來了」的感覺，就是 nuisance 這個字站的位置。人也可以是 nuisance：不是壞人，是一直在你旁邊製造小麻煩的人。
