adj.无人租赁的；无人居住的

O thou that dost inhabit in my breast, Leave not the mansion so long tenantless, Lest, growing ruinous, the building fall And leave no memory of what it was. 啊，您这栖身在我胸怀中的人儿，不要让这房子这么长久空旷，惟恐它破坏了会倒下，使得无人记起它昔日的光华。

He threaded his way back to the ferry landing, found nobody at large there, and walked boldly on board the boat, for he knew she was tenantless except that there was a watchman, who always turned in and slept like a graven image. 他转弯抹角，回到了渡船码头，发现那里没人走动，就大胆地上了船。 他知道船上只有一个守船的人，没别的人，而他总是睡觉，睡起觉来像个雕像一样。
