词语用法
词义讲解
词源解说

n.(名词)

ambition的基本意思是“抱负,雄心,野心”，强调以个人的成就为目的，可用于褒义或贬义。可指值得称赞的志向和雄心,也可指无限制的野心。
ambition 泛指“雄心；野心”时，多用作不可数名词；指具体的志愿或理想时，可用作可数名词；作“抱负；热望”解时，用复数形式。
ambition后可接介词for 或 of，但更常用的是接动词不定式。

n.(名词)

ambition, aspiration, pretension: 这三个词的共同意思是指对实现抱负的强烈愿望。ambition可用于褒义,也可用于贬义; aspiration的单数形式主要用于褒义,指使人提高或使人高尚的抱负,其复数形式有时可指缺乏合理根据的或狂妄的野心; 而pretension则因其“狂妄”的词源意义而侧重表示只有愿望而没有条件、权力或才能。

☆ 14世纪中期进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的amitio，意为为了获得势力而四处活动。
