短釋義：
Whether it’s a mosquito or your little brother pestering you about the laundry, you can use the word nuisance to describe something that causes small annoyances.
無論是蚊子還是您的弟弟為了洗衣服而纏着您，您都可以使用 nuisance 這個詞來形容引起小煩惱的事情。
長釋義：
The noun nuisance traces back to the Latin word nocere, meaning “to harm.” Nuisance originally was used to refer to things that could produce serious injury and harm, but over time the word lost some of its capacity for destruction. Nowadays you’ll hear nuisance used to describe things or people that cause small problems or that bother you in annoying but trivial ways.
名詞 nuisance 可以追溯到拉丁詞 nocere，意思是“傷害”。 Nisance 最初用于指代可能造成嚴重傷害和傷害的事物，但随着時間的推移，這個詞失去了一些破壞能力。現在你會聽到 nuisance 用來描述引起小問題的事物或人，或者以煩人但微不足道的方式打擾你。

詞源：
nuisance (n.)c. 1400, “injury, hurt, harm,” from Anglo-French nusaunce, Old French nuisance “harm, wrong, damage,” from past-participle stem of nuire “to harm,” from Latin nocere “to hurt” (from PIE root *nek- (1) “death”). Sense has softened over time, to “anything obnoxious to a community” (bad smells, pests, eyesores), 1660s, then “source of annoyance, something personally disagreeable” (1831). Applied to persons from 1690s. As an adjective by 1889; the older adjective nuisant was always rare and now is obsolete.Related entries & more
下面是詞源的翻譯（機器翻譯比較難翻，參考着看）
滋擾（n.）c。 1400，“傷害，傷害，傷害”，來自英法 nusaunce，古法語 nuisance“傷害，錯誤，傷害”，來自 nuire 的過去分詞詞幹“to harm”，來自拉丁語 nocere“to hurt”（來自 PIE 詞根*nek- (1) “死亡”）。随着時間的推移，感覺已經軟化，到“任何讓社群讨厭的東西”（難聞的氣味、害蟲、眼睛刺痛），1660 年代，然後是“煩惱的來源，個人不愉快的事情”（1831 年）。适用于 1690 年代以來的人。到 1889 年作為形容詞；較舊的形容詞 nuisant 一直很少見，現在已過時。相關條目及更多
