深入解读
Oblivious 是一个与熟词 obvious 十分形似但含义相隔较远的单词。该词源自拉丁语 obliviosus （健忘的、很容易忘记的；产生健忘的），15世纪中期进入英语后也是用来表示“忘却的、健忘的”，不过这个含义现已不再流行。
等到了1862年后， oblivious 开始讹用来表示“不知道的、未注意的、未察觉的”，但这个含义随后却发展成了该词的主要含义。现在常用搭配 oblivious of/to sth ，多指对周围发生的事情毫无知觉的或未察觉的，强调缺乏主动有意识的注意，或者因认为事情微不足道或者过于琐碎而没有去注意或记住，比如：
- 那个新手专心于工作，对周围的一切毫无知觉。
Absorbed in her work, the novice was totally oblivious of her surroundings. - 他开车走了，没有注意到他所造成的附带损害。
He drove off, oblivious of the collateral damage he had caused.
