overlooked

这组词都有“忽视,忽略”的意思。它们的区别是：

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。

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。
