Something that keeps getting in your way — not dangerous, not a disaster, just a small thing that will not stop. A dripping tap, a fly in the room, a form you have to fill in again. The picture is of harm that is too small to fight but too repeated to ignore.
一件「不嚴重、但一直來煩你」的事。不是災難,不是危險——是水龍頭滴個不停、房間裡一隻飛來飛去的蒼蠅、明明填過又要再填一次的表格。它的傷害小到不值得動怒,卻密到讓人無法忽略;那種「唉,又來了」的感覺,就是 nuisance 這個字站的位置。人也可以是 nuisance:不是壞人,是一直在你旁邊製造小麻煩的人。
