Dereliction
“Dereliction”是一个名词，主要有两个含义：
- 失职：未能履行职责
- 遗弃：遗弃财产或责任
- The dereliction of duty was serious. (失职是严重的。)
- The dereliction of the building was evident. (建筑的遗弃是明显的。)
- He was charged with dereliction. (他被指控失职。)
“Dereliction”来自动词 “derelict”（遗弃），加上后缀 “-ion”（名词后缀，表示动作）。
- 前缀：de-（离开）
- 词根：relict-（遗留）
- 后缀：-ion（名词后缀）
“Dereliction”是正式用词，常用于描述未能履行职责或遗弃财产的行为，在法律和正式语境中经常使用。
- 形容词形式：derelict（被遗弃的）
可以将 “dereliction” 与 “derelict”（被遗弃的）联系起来，“-ion” 后缀将其变为名词形式。
When the security guard left his post during an emergency, it was dereliction of duty - he had abandoned his responsibility when people needed him most. Dereliction of duty can have serious consequences, especially in jobs where people’s safety depends on you doing your job correctly.
