    An uninhabited place has nobody living in it. It is a plain statement of fact, with no judgement in it — the place may be beautiful and perfectly pleasant, it simply has no residents. It goes most naturally with islands, valleys, , planets, and stretches of coast: an uninhabited island, an uninhabited part of the country.

    An uninhabited placeuninhabited 的地方 has nobody living in it沒有人住在裡面。 It is a plain statement of fact, with no judgement in it這只是單純陳述事實,沒有評價的意思 — the place may be beautiful and perfectly pleasant那個地方可能很美、也很宜人, it simply has no residents只是沒有居民而已。 It goes most naturally with islands, valleys, deserts, planets, and stretches of coast最常搭配的是島嶼、山谷、沙漠、行星和一段段的海岸: an uninhabited island「an uninhabited island」(無人島), an uninhabited part of the country「an uninhabited part of the country」(國家裡無人居住的地區)。

    Notice that it means nobody lives there permanently. Tourists may visit an uninhabited island every weekend; it stays uninhabited, because nobody sleeps there year after year.
