negligently
含义: Through a failure to take proper care or exercise due diligence; in a manner that falls below the standard of reasonable attention.
Negligently is fundamentally a legal and professional term. In tort law, negligence is a specific cause of action — the failure to meet a duty of care. Outside courtrooms, it describes professionals who do their jobs poorly: a negligently maintained building, negligently prepared accounts, negligently supervised children. It is less aggressive than 'recklessly' — negligence implies carelessness rather than conscious disregard.
