词义辨析

v. (动词)

neglect, ignore, overlook

• 这三个词都有“忽视,忽略”的意思。其区别是：
• ignore指有意忽视、不理睬。neglect指因不留心或遗忘而疏忽,有时也指故意不予注意。例如:
• Don't neglect to lock the door when you leave.你离开时,不要忘记锁门。
• Forgetting one or two small details is one thing, but neglecting the major responsibilities of your job is something else again.忘记一两个细节是一回事,可是忽视你工作的主要职责又是另一回事了。
• overlook是指多出于无心或由于匆忙未能注意到而忽略做某事; 也指有意原谅、宽容别人的失误。例如:
• In doing proof-reading,I overlooked a typing error.在校对时我看漏了一个打字错误。
• I'll overlook your fault this time.这一回我宽容你的错误。

n. (名词)

neglect to-v, neglect in v-ing

• 前者的意思是“因疏忽而忘了做某事”; 后者的意思是“因疏忽而做错了或做得很失误”。试比较:
• his neglect to fill in an application form
• 他因疏忽而没填写申请表
• his neglect in filling in an application form
• 他因疏忽而把申请表填错了

neglect, negligence

• 这两个词都可表示“疏忽”。
• 1.neglect往往着重指行动有“该做而没做”的含意,针对“疏忽或弃置工作”而言,表示有意识地明知故犯; negligence特指人或团体对工作的态度不认真,或责任心不强,疏忽大意、粗心等,往往有经常不注意的意思,表示习性。
• 2.若指人的外表时, neglect是“疏忽”意味较强的用法,表示“邋遢,不整洁的仪表”; negligence只是指“不追求时髦,不专心打扮”。

词源解说

• ☆ 1529年进入英语，直接源自古典拉丁语的neglectus(neglegere的过去分词）：neg (没有） + legere (拾起，选择），意为没有选择或拾起的。
