总结：（尤指建筑物）废弃的；被抛弃了的；玩忽职守的（NORTH AMERICAN）
玩忽职守的有争议，牛津词典和柯林斯词典都没有相应的英文解释，而谷歌的解释是形容人没有做本应做的事（可耻的疏忽），
玩忽职守意思是不认真、不负责地对待本职工作，主要由过失构成，且存在主观性所构成的故意犯罪情况，这里作为北美英语，它带有的含义仅为没有做该做的事情，而且是可耻的。
negligent
美 [ˈneɡlɪdʒənt]
adj.
牛津词典
(formal or law 律) 疏忽的；造成过失的

柯林斯词典
疏忽的;玩忽职守的;失职的
If someone in a position of responsibility is negligent, they do not do something which they ought to do.随便的;放松的;不修边幅的
If you describe a person's movements or manner as negligent, you mean that they look relaxed and informal.基本可以通过比对发现，牛津词典翻译的是，失败于没有给予足够关注和照顾，特别是在造成的严重后果时，而柯林斯词典则翻译为他没有做自己该做的事情。两者都没有说这是故意的。玩忽职守存在主观性所构成的故意犯罪情况。
