neglect
★★
🇺🇸 /nʌɡlˈɛkt/
“neglect”表示没有给予应有的注意、照料或处理;作动词时指忽视、漏做,作名词时指这种行为、状态或长期缺乏照料。
💡 记忆钩子
把注意力和照料想成伸手去“接住”某件事:该接却没接,就是 neglect。没接住一次是漏做或忽视,长期不接、不照料就成了 neglect(疏于照料)的状态;在数学里则是为了简化而暂时“不接”某个影响很小的项。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握动词“忽视、疏于照料”和“漏做”,再学习名词用法;名词常表示一种持续的状态或行为。
- 不要把 neglect 只理解成故意无视,它也可以是因为疏忽、粗心而没有完成某事。
📖 中文释义
noun
-
common 忽视行为📖 指没有去照料、注意或处理某事这一行为本身,重点在“没有做该做的事”。💡 常用“the neglect of + 对象”来说明被忽视的对象,也可用“through neglect”表示“由于疏忽”。这个名词既可谈一次行为,也可作抽象概念;不要只在表示遗弃儿童或动物时使用它。countable uncountableThe neglect of basic safety rules caused the accident.忽视基本安全规则导致了这起事故。
-
common 被忽视的状态📖 指人、地方或事物长期没有得到应有的注意和照料,因此处于被冷落或失修的状态。💡 常见结构是“in a state of neglect”或“show signs of neglect”,用于描述外表、设施或人的状况。它强调结果形成的状态,不等于单次的 forgetfulness(忘记)。countable uncountableThe old house has fallen into neglect since the owner moved away.房主搬走后,这所老房子逐渐无人照料,变得失修破败。
-
core 长期疏于照料📖 指习惯性或持续地缺少关心和照料;它不是偶尔漏掉一件事,而是反复让某人或某物得不到应有的照顾。💡 常用“neglect of + 人或事物”以及“childhood neglect”等结构,语气通常比一般的“疏忽”更严重。它既能描述实际照料不足,也能描述对某个领域长期缺少关注;不要误解为主动伤害。countable uncountableYears of neglect left the garden full of weeds.多年的疏于照料使这座花园杂草丛生。

core 忽视;疏于照料📖 指本来应该照料、关注或处理某人某事,却没有这样做;原因可以是粗心,也可以是长期缺乏关心。💡 常用“neglect + 人或事物”以及“neglect to do something”,前者强调忽视对象,后者强调漏做的动作。它可用于责任、工作、健康和照料等语境;不要把它当成只表示“完全不理睬”的强烈表达。transitiveHe neglected his health while working two jobs.他同时做两份工作时忽视了自己的健康。Please do not neglect to check the locks before you leave.离开前请不要忘了检查门锁。
-
common 冷落;不予理会📖 指有意或无意地不理会某人、不尊重对方,或不给对方应有的关注;重点从照料不足转向人际上的冷落。💡 常用“neglect + 人”表示冷落或怠慢某人,宾语通常是人而不是具体任务。这个用法往往带有负面评价,但不一定表示公开侮辱;若只是没有注意到某人,语境需要足够支持这种较强的责备意味。transitiveShe felt neglected when her colleagues stopped inviting her to lunch.同事们不再邀请她共进午餐时,她觉得自己受到了冷落。
-
common 因疏忽而漏做📖 指因为粗心或遗漏,没有完成本来应该完成的步骤、说明或任务;这里不一定涉及长期不照料。💡 常用“neglect to do something”或“neglect + 名词”来指出漏掉的动作或事项。它常用于书面说明、工作评价和责任讨论;不要在已经明确表示故意拒绝时随意使用,因为该词通常保留“疏忽或未尽责”的意味。transitiveI neglected to attach the file to the email.我疏忽了,忘记把文件附在邮件里。
-
rare 计算中忽略📖 在数学或科学计算中,指为了简化表达而暂不考虑影响很小、不会明显改变结果的因素。💡 常见结构是“neglect + 因素”或“can be neglected”,多见于技术说明和计算过程。这里不是指粗心漏掉,而是有根据地判断某项影响可以忽略;日常谈话中通常不用这个义项。transitive

🌳 词源
源自中古英语,来自拉丁语,原有“轻视、不理会、没有捡起”的意思;现代各义都保留了“不去接住或处理”的核心。
The verb is inherited from Middle English neglect, neclect, derived from Latin neglēctus, perfect passive participle of neglegō (“to make light of, disregard, not to pick up”), itself from nec (“not”) + legō (“to pick up, select”). The noun is from neglēctus (“neglect”). First attested in 1460, the noun in 1588.
