blind

blind 这个词大家都认识,表示**「失明的;看不见的」**,由这个基本含义,blind还引申出一系列其他意思,我们来重点学习。

这个短语的意思不难猜,表示**「对...视而不见,未注意到...,未察觉...」**(not noticing or realizing sth)。我们来看一些例句:

  1. He is blind to his own mistakes.他对自己的错误视而不见。
  2. International companies are often blind to local needs. 跨国公司往往不了解本地的需求。
  3. 《经济学人》一篇关于中国乡村教育的文章也用到了这个词: The government has not been completely blind to the need to ensure that rural people have enough schooling to work in factories, but it has shown little sense of urgency.
  4. 再比如BBC改编的《爱玛》里有这样一句话:

小结一下:do not realize sth→ be blind to sth

举个例子:

他没有察觉到自己孩子的缺点。

He didn't notice the faults of his children.

He was blind to the faults of his children.

do not realize sth可以用be blind to sth替换
