记忆方法: 1）首字母EVBVV想成BE VVV做大V<==空的       "空"本义是"孔穴"，其中的工仅表读音没有意义。引申指1、空间，如天空太空高空空运  2、没有内容，如空穴空洞空手空虚空心空谈  3、间隙，如空隙空闲有空空格钻空子填空空出来   4、徒然白白地，如空欢喜空忙乎空遗恨  佛教中表示"万物从因缘生，没有固定，虚幻不实"，如"色即是空"是说世间万物虚幻不定，悟空就是对此领悟，空还指佛教本身，如空门指佛门

         2）练习一下

         3）空的的意思是缺乏内容mean lacking contents which could or should be present.首字母EVBVV想成BE VVV做大V<==空的
