短释义
Vestige derives from the Latin vestigium, “footprint,” and that is a good way to think of it — as a little hint of what was there before. It’s something left behind, like a puddle after a heavy rainstorm. Sometimes vestige is used to emphasize a small amount; for example, you might say that the robber didn’t show even a vestige of remorse after he was caught.
痕迹是对已经消失或正在消失的事物的痕迹或提醒。一块里面有胡萝卜的雪可能是雪人的痕迹。

Vestige 源自拉丁文的“vestigium”,“足迹”,这是一个很好的理解方式——作为对之前存在的东西的一点暗示。这是留下的东西,就像暴雨过后的水坑。有时痕迹用于强调少量;例如,你可能会说,强盗被抓后,连一丝悔意都没有。
