核心畫面

One way to hold this word: a gap that has not been filled. Sometimes the gap is out in the world — an order, a demand, a debt still waiting. Sometimes the gap is inside a person, who has had something and is still waiting. Same empty space, two places to put it.

可以想成有一個空缺還沒被填起來。有時候這個空缺在外面的世界:一張訂單、一筆需求、一筆債,還懸在那裡沒人處理。有時候這更多收起可以想成有一個空缺還沒被填起來。有時候這個空缺在外面的世界:一張訂單、一筆需求、一筆債,還懸在那裡沒人處理。有時候這個空缺在人的心裡:東西拿到了、飯也吃了,裡面卻還有一塊沒被填滿。是同一個空缺,只是放在不同的位置。也因為畫面是「還沒填滿」,它常偏向「不夠」,而不是「很糟」。

From the word’s history

From un- plus satisfied, so literally not-filled, not-met.

由 un-(未)加上 satisfied(被滿足的)組成,字面上就是「還沒被填滿」。

空缺還在

兩個意思都是同一個空缺,差別只在它擺在世界上還是擺在人心裡。

adjective · B2

If a demand, request, need or debt is unsatisfied, nothing has been done about it yet. It is still open, still waiting to be met or paid.

未被滿足的;未獲處理的
