Neglect can suggest that you think the person simply forgot or did not bother to carry out the necessary action; omit can suggest that not doing or saying sth was deliberate. Omit is used most often with speech-related verbs such as ask, disclose, inform, mention, say and tell. * neglect暗指只是因一时大意或图省事而没有做该做的事；omit暗指故意不做或不说某事。omit最常跟与说话相关的动词连用，如ask、disclose、inform、mention、say和tell。 |
