英英單字圖文記憶(063)
overlook [͵ovɚˋlʊk]:
If a building or window overlooks a place, you can see the place clearly from the building or window.
分解:前綴over = 在…之上;字根look = look。
分析:”在上面看” = 俯瞰。從遠距離觀察當然不清楚,故引伸為 “疏忽”。
A dog is sitting high on a hill overlooking the terraced.
一隻狗高高地坐在可以俯瞰梯田的小山上。
My calculation was wrong because I overlooked one tiny point.
由於我忽略了一個細微之處,我的計算錯了。
