- 1渾然不覺的、毫不察覺的
If you are oblivious, you do not know about something, or you do not notice it, even though it is happening around you. A student can be oblivious to the teacher calling their name. A walker can be oblivious to the rain. The usual pattern is oblivious to; oblivious of is also used, especially in older writing. The word can sound gentle (a baby sleeping, oblivious to the noise) or a little sharp (he was oblivious to how his joke hurt people). It does not mean stupid. It means your mind is somewhere else, so you miss what is in front of you. Though actually, the Latin behind it is about forgetting, not about eyes: this word is cousin to oblivion, the state of being forgotten, or of remembering nothing.
From the word’s history
From Middle English oblivious, from Latin oblīviōsus 'forgetful', from oblīvīscor 'to forget'.
源自拉丁文 oblīviōsus「健忘的」，來自 oblīvīscor「忘記」。
組成From Latin oblīviōsus, “forgetful,” built from oblīvium, “forgetfulness,” plus -ōsus, “full of.” The verb behind it is oblīvīscor, “to forget.” It came through Middle English oblivious.
