“空地方”、“空房間”、“空座”、“空余的”等等，英語怎么說？
1. available: if something is
available , you can get it, buy it, or use it
例：
There's no room for more books - we've used
up all the available space. （已經(jīng)放不下多余的書了，能放的地方我們都放了。）
This program will take up a lot of your
available disk space. （這個程序會占用很多磁盤空間。）
have something available
Do you have a room available for this
weekend? （這周末酒店有空房間嗎？）
readily/freely available (=very easy to get)
Drugs like heroin are readily available on
the streets. （海洛因之類的毒品在街上就可以很容易買到。）
?
2. vacant: a building, home, room,
or office that is vacant is available because it is not owned or rented by
anyone
例：
There don't seem to be any vacant rooms in
the whole of London! （好像整個倫敦的酒店都被住滿了！）
If you're looking for somewhere to rent, I
think there's a vacant apartment in my building. （如果你在找房子，我住的那幢樓倒是有個公寓要出租。）
Of the buildings the company owns, only 3%
are vacant. （這個公司旗下的房子只有3%沒人入住。）

unused area of land in a city) where her house used to be. （她房子的舊址上，拆得只剩下一片空地。）
?
3. free: a room or seat that is free
is not being used by anyone now, and no one has asked for it to be kept for
them to use later
備注：In everyday
English, people usually say that a seat or room is ''free'' rather than ''vacant''（日常用語中，''free''比''vacant''更常用。）
例：
Is this chair free? （這位子有人坐嗎？）
The only free seats on the train were in a
smoking compartment. （這列車上只有非無煙車廂還有座位了。）
The office next door is free if you need
somewhere to work. （隔壁的辦公室空著沒人用，如果你要用可以去用。）
There's just one free table, over there in
the corner. （只有一張桌子了，在那邊角落。）
have something free
The hotel never has any rooms free over the
Christmas period. （圣誕期間，酒店從來沒空房。）
?
4. empty: something such as a room
or seat that is empty has no one using it at the moment and is therefore
available for someone else to use
例：
They have three empty rooms now that the
kids have moved out. （孩子們搬出去后，他們家就有了三個空房間。）
I think there's an empty seat in the back
row. （我想最后一排有個空座。）
The house was empty for two months before
it was sold. （在有人買下之前，這房子已經(jīng)空了兩個月了。）
I spotted an empty table in the corner. （我看見角落那兒有一張空桌。）
He put his feet on an empty chair. （他把腳架在一張沒人坐的椅子上。）
?
5. spare: something that is spare is
not being used now, but it can be used if someone needs it
例：
I need 50 cents for the parking meter - do
you have any spare change? （我要50美分用來停車，你有多的零錢嗎？）
We're using the spare bedroom as a storage
space. （我們把多出來的那個臥室當(dāng)成儲藏室來用。）
a spare tire（備胎）
?
補充：“這個位子有人坐了”、“這個房間有人住了”英語怎么說？
taken: if something such as a seat, room, or place is taken , someone has
already arranged to use it and it is not available for other people to use
例：
I'm sorry - that seat is taken. （抱歉，這里已經(jīng)有人了。）
