Have you ever beenembrassed because of forgetting something important. Most people have. And, what is worse, most people have resigned themselves to a life of forgetting / forgetfulness.
这个句子里是填 forgetting 还是 填 forgetfulness。我感觉两个都可以。
Have you ever been embrassed because of forgetting something important. Most people have. And, what is worse, most people have resigned themselves to a life of forgetfulness.
【翻译】你是不是由于忘记了一些要紧的事情而烦恼过？大部分人都是这样。更糟糕的是，大多数人已经习惯了健忘的生活。
【剖析】本题应该选择forgetfulness。
forgetfulness 和 forgetting 有什么区别是：
虽然都可以用作名词，但前者表示抽象意义（“健忘”是一种生理障碍），而后者虽然具备名词意义，但强调“遗忘”这种动作行为，带有偶然性、一次性。相比而言，前者含有习惯意义。
