1600年,“空闲的,没有被占用的”,来自 un-(1)“不”+ employ(v.)的过去分词。意思是“暂时失业”来自1660年代。似乎没有 *unemploy 这个动词,但 disemploy 被使用(1610年代)。指“失业人员集体”的名词来自1782年。
No man has hired us
With pocketed hands
And lowered faces
We stand about in open places
And shiver in unlit rooms ...
[T.S. Eliot, from "Choruses from the Rock"]
没有人雇用我们
双手插袋
低头垂眉
我们在开阔地站着
在没有灯光的房间里发抖...
[T.S.艾略特,《岩石合唱团》中的合唱]
