小知识
If something is hollow, it is empty on the inside. A chocolate Easter bunny looks like so much chocolate until you realize that it is hollow and quickly eaten.
The idea of emptiness is apparent in the other uses for hollow too. A valley between mountains is called a hollow and if you're really thin, you may have hollow cheeks. Things like words and promises are hollow if the person uttering them does not intend to keep them. And a hollow victory is not very satisfying, as it means that you have reached your goal, but lost something more important along the way.

词语辨析
hollow，den，hole。
这组词都有“孔，洞，穴”的意思。它们的区别在于：hole可指正常的“洞，洞穴”，也可指不正常的“破洞，裂口”；hollow主要指凹地、洼地或任何物体的“凹陷部分”，如洞、穴、坑等；den特指“兽穴”，也指动物园中的“兽笼”，有时也可指“匪窝”等。例如：We got into the cellar through a round hole covered by a metalplate.我们从一个有金属盖板的圆洞进入地下室。More gravel is needed to fill the hollow in the driveway.在车道的凹地上需要填更多的沙砾。The policeman happened to find a den of thieves in the suburb of the city.警察在市郊发现了一个贼窝。（”ci”：”empty，vacant，hollow。这一组词都表示“空的”，但涵义有所不同。empty意思是“里面没有东西”、“一无所有”，具有“空无一物”的隐含意义，它可以用来描绘box、vessel、cupboard、bag、purse、room、house、street、stomach、head等词。vacant意思是“闲着的”、“无人占据的”，着重指临时性的情况，如：vacant seat、vacant apartment、vacant position等。hollow意思是“空心的”、“中空的”、“空洞的”、“下陷的”，它常与tree、ball、cheeks、voice、sound、words、promise等词连用，由此可见，它既可用以指实物的“中空”，亦可指words、promise、compliments的“虚假”，用于后者场合是比喻意义。
