ignoring

试比较下面两个句子:

He was driving very fast because he was ignorant of the fact that there was a speed limit.

他因为不知道有时速限制,把车开得很 快。(不知道)

He ignored the speed limit and drove very fast.

他不顾时速限制,把车开得很快。(知 道但不注意)

这三个词都有“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。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。
