n.|fierceness/cruelty;凶猛；残忍；暴行
ferocity是名词，指代极端的凶猛、残暴或激烈程度，常用于描述动物本性、自然现象或人类行为的极端特质。该词源自拉丁语ferocitas，由ferox（意为“凶猛的”）演变而来。剑桥词典将其定义为“the state of being frightening and violent or difficult to control”，特别适用于形容狮子等猛兽的攻击性，或台风等自然灾害的破坏强度。
在实际应用中，ferocity既可指物理层面的暴力，如“the ferocity of the tiger's attack was captured by wildlife researchers”（野生动物研究者记录下了老虎攻击时的凶猛），也可形容抽象概念的强度，例如“the debate continued with unexpected ferocity”（辩论以出乎意料的激烈程度持续）。牛津英语词典指出，该词在文学作品中常用来增强冲突场景的戏剧性，如莎士比亚戏剧中战争场面的描写。
词义辨析中需注意：ferocity强调攻击性的极致状态，与aggression（泛指攻击性行为）不同，前者更突出程度上的极端性。气象学家在描述飓风时会特别使用ferocity来强调其破坏力等级，如“Hurricane Laura's ferocity broke historical records”（劳拉飓风的猛烈程度打破了历史记录）。
“Ferocity”是一个名词，表示极度凶猛、残暴或激烈的性质或状态，常见于描述攻击、行为或自然现象的强度。以下是详细解析：
The lion attacked its prey with great ferocity. （狮子以极大的凶猛攻击猎物。）
