词义辨析

v. (动词)

overlook, ignore, neglect

• 这组词都有“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；而overlook既指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:
• I was deeply hurt by the way she just ignored me.她根本就不理睬我的样子深深地刺痛了我的心。
• 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。
• 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。

overlook, slight

• 这两个词都可表示“无视”。slight多指有意地“无视”,即“蔑视”; overlook多指无意地“无视”,即“忽视”。例如：
• He slighted no one.他不轻视任何人。
• I overlooked this problem and shall have to tackle it now.我忽略了这个问题,现在不得不解决它。
