短释义：
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.
无论是蚊子还是您的弟弟为了洗衣服而缠着您，您都可以使用 nuisance 这个词来形容引起小烦恼的事情。
长释义：
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.
名词 nuisance 可以追溯到拉丁词 nocere，意思是“伤害”。 Nisance 最初用于指代可能造成严重伤害和伤害的事物，但随着时间的推移，这个词失去了一些破坏能力。现在你会听到 nuisance 用来描述引起小问题的事物或人，或者以烦人但微不足道的方式打扰你。

词源：
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 As an adjective by 1889; the older adjective nuisant was always rare and now is obsolete.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
