Origin
Shakespeare came close to this phrase in Othello, 1604:
Clown:
Then put up your pipes in your bag, for I'll away. Go; vanish into air; away!
and in The Tempest, 1610:
Prospero:
These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits and are melted into air, into thin air
It seems clear that Shakespeare coined the terms thin air (which has been widely used since the 17th century by a diverse collection of authors, including John Milton (1671), William Blake (1800) and Ed McBain (1977) and vanish into air, used by lesser-known author; James Hogg, in his work 'Mountain Bard' (1807). Shakespeare didn't put the two together to make vanish into thin air though. The first use I can find of that phrase, which is clearly an adaptation of Shakespeare's terms, is in The Edinburgh Advertiser, April 1822, in a piece about the imminent conflict between Russia and Turkey:

用 evaporate 的就梗係亂黎啦!! 淡奶咩!? 「人間蒸發」亦可說 vanish/disappear without a trace

Take the place of the crime sheep---代罪羔羊
Human world evaporating---人間蒸發

Oh my...did someone say 'The world evaporates'?? I'm scared to think what that might be like!!
人間蒸發 means someone or something disappeared - NOT the world going into steam! So it's -
Disappeared from the face of the earth/the planet
a bit long but that's what foreigners say all the time.
代罪羔羊 = Scapegoat (most people got this one right)
Hope that helps!

人間蒸發=disappear, to be missing
代罪羔羊=scapegoat

人間蒸發=The world evaporates

代罪羔羊=Scapegoat
