The phrase is deeply rooted in the concept of hospitality and abundance. In Western literature, a 'cup filled with' something is often a symbol of one's fate or current emotional state. It transitioned from purely physical descriptions to emotional ones during the Romantic era of poetry.

What It Means
Fill with is a very common way to say you are putting something into a container or a space. It is simple but powerful. You can use it for physical objects like water in a glass. You can also use it for abstract things like joy in a heart. It basically means 'to make something full using X.'
How To Use It
To use this phrase, start with the object being filled. Then add with followed by the substance. For example: 'I fill the bucket with sand.' You can also use it in the passive voice. 'The room was filled with people.' It is a very flexible structure. Just remember that with always introduces the ingredient or the content.
When To Use It
Use it when you are cooking and adding ingredients. Use it when you are describing a crowded place. It is perfect for emotional moments too. If a movie makes you happy, your heart is filled with joy. It works at work when filling a report with data. It works at home when filling a vase with flowers. It is a true 'all-rounder' phrase.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use it for digital files or software usually. You don't fill a folder with files; you just 'put' them there. Avoid using it for people entering a room unless the room gets crowded. If one person walks in, they don't fill it. Also, don't confuse it with fill out. You fill out a form, but you fill a cup with tea. Using the wrong one might make a waiter think you want to write on your drink!
Cultural Background
In English-speaking cultures, we love using this for metaphors. We often talk about 'filling a void' or 'filling a gap.' It implies that something was empty or lonely before. It is a very positive phrase when used with emotions. It suggests abundance and plenty. It has been used in English for centuries because it is so direct.
Common Variations
Sometimes people say full of instead of filled with. Full of describes the state, while filled with often describes the action. You might also hear stuffed with for food or pillows. In formal writing, you might see replete with. But in 99% of your daily life, filled with is your best friend.
使用说明
This is a neutral collocation suitable for all levels of formality. Be careful not to confuse it with phrasal verbs like `fill out` (for forms) or `fill in` (for substitutes).
The 'Full' Confusion
Remember: Use 'filled WITH' but 'full OF'. They mean the same thing, but the grammar changes!
Forms vs. Containers
Never say 'fill with a form.' For documents, always use 'fill out' or 'fill in'.
The Glass Half Full
English speakers use 'filling' to talk about optimism. If you fill your life with positive things, you're an optimist!
