Forgot
“Forgot” 是 forget 的过去式,指过去某一时刻未能想起或未能做该做的事,如 “I forgot my password.”(我忘了密码。)口语里也可表示“疏忽、漏做”,语气常带歉意或懊恼。
- “She forgot to lock the door before leaving.” (她出门前忘了锁门。)
- “He forgot her name the moment they were introduced.” (他们刚介绍完,他就忘了她的名字。)
- “Don’t worry—I forgot about the meeting too.” (别担心,我也忘了那场会议。)
“Forget” 来自古英语 forgietan,由 for-(离开、相反)与 gietan(抓住、持有)构成,字面义接近“让记忆溜走”。
for-(离开)+ get(抓住)→ forgot 为不规则过去式;过去分词 forgotten;名词 forgetfulness。
道歉时常用 “Sorry, I forgot.”;科技语境 “forgot password” 是高频界面用语;与 “I didn’t remember” 相比,forgot 更强调“当时没想起来”这一结果。
